What grades should I be getting in graduate school?

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
starfishblues asked:


I just finished my first semester of graduate school. (MPA degree) I took 3 classes and I got an A, a B+, and a C+. These are good enough to keep me in the program but I feel like they’re not stellar. I’m considering going on to get another Master’s degree or a PhD after I graduate and I’m just wondering how my grades will compare to other applicants.

Thanks.

Vicki

Is there a graduate school out West with a neuropsychology program?

Saturday, May 24th, 2008
Nick asked:


I’m in a four-year university right now. I’m thinking I’ll probably end up majoring in psychology and minoring in biology so I can major in neuropsychology in graduate school to do neuropsychological research. I really want to get out of the boring state of Tennessee, away from my boring family, and move out West (I consider out West anything west of the Texas-Louisiana border). Are there any neuropsycology graduate schools out West?

How do you pay for graduate school?

coco asked:


How do u pay for graduate school if you owe $15,000 in Stafford Loans. Specifically Fine Arts graduate school. Is it easy to get grants from the government to pay for grad school if you are poor? Does being married help or hurt chances of getting grants?

How do I get financial aid for graduate school?

Thursday, May 8th, 2008
Snarf asked:


I have to admit I was luck enough to have my parents pay for my entire undergraduate education. They are well off and I did not have to apply for financial aid or student loans.

I will be paying for my own graduate school and want to know how I go about applying for financial aid. Obviously I would prefer some assistance that I would not have to pay back, but would also take a low interest loan to supplement. I am 25, make $35,000 per year and do not live with my parents. Would I be likely to qualify for anything? How far in advance do I need to apply and do I need to know which school I going to for sure before I can? How do I get started? I would appreciate any advice. My parents did offer to pay for this, but I am looking to go an out of state school and would like to pay on my own and invest inmy own future. Thanks!
