If you tell us the schools you are considering, we can chime in with our collective knowledge! :-D Smile123 Smile and Jess, I haven't decided on the complete and final list of schools to apply to, but I am currently considering Simmons, NEU, USM, Columbia, and UCSF. I want to make sure to apply to a broad enough range so that I will get an acceptance letter from at least one school. Looking at the stats for Simmons, I believe fit their profile. Do you have any suggestions for rounding-out my list? I know that my list is pretty much comprised of the most difficult schools to get accepted to. I am beginning to think that there are no "shoe-in" schools that offer this type of program, though. Am I right? Which schools did y'all apply to? Here's to reaching high and taking risks! rachel

Wow! Thank you so much, all of you! I did not expect to get so much detailed information on how to approach taking the gre test. This forum is extremely helpful and a very welcoming place. Do you think that taking the test a month before the application due date is cutting it too short? Thanks again. Y'all are awesome. rachel

Hello. I am new to posting on this forum. A couple of days ago I found the 72-page thread... There is so much to read, so I apologize in advance if this topic is redundant. I am planning to apply to a small hand full of Direct entry programs in the fall and spring. I have taken the most common prereqs and now neeed to take the gre test. What do you recommend for preparation? How much time did you spend preparing? I am trying to figure out if I am being realistic about what I can accomplish in a few months. Also, did you feel that you had a good idea of what your scores would be going into the test? So many questions. Can you tell that I not feeling very confident about this? Thanks for reading. And congrats to all those who have been accepted. I hope to be in your shoes in a year! rachel
