Ben asked:


I’ve heard that you can’t go to the same school for both undergrad and graduate studies. Is that true?

Is it possible to get into graduate school with a lower GPA than what they require for admission?

Friday, November 16th, 2007
E M asked:


I am looking at several graduate schools and I do not make the minimum GPA requirement for some, but I not off by much I think (.3). I know that although GPA is important, graduate schools also look at your GRE scores, internship & research experience, and letters of recommendation. Do you think it would be possible to get into a grad school by excelling in the other fields and explaining in my personal statement why my GPA is lower than what they are asking for?

How do most people deal with going to graduate school?

Saturday, November 10th, 2007
thinkingtoomuch asked:


When you graduate from college, you are most likely not going to be able to find a job immediately after. If you plan to go to graduate school after you graduate, how can you pay for your living expenses? Also, would you live alone? Or would you live with strangers? would those strangers be undergrads? or would you advertise that you explicitly only want to live with graduate students? I’m so lost!

Is it a good choice to go to graduate school in engineer if I earned my bachelor degree in business?

Friday, November 9th, 2007
Question Man asked:


I am in a dilemma now. I feel more into engineer than business, but I feel OK in business. So, will it be a huge loss if I discard what i’ve learned in business? And is it possible to go to a graduate school in engineering since I didn’t take any engineering-related courses in undergraduate.
Do I go to undergraduate school again in engineering?
