Matt W asked:


I have taken the GRE exam twice, and I am about to start applying to graduate schools. The first time I took the exam I did extremely well on the quantitative portion, but no so great on verbal. When I took the exam again, I did very well on verbal, but my math score was lower than the first test. I have two questions about this:

1) When I unofficially report my scores on the application, would it be acceptable to put my highest score for Verbal and Quantitative, even if they are from different tests? The applications that I have seen only ask for the two different scores separately.

2) If I cannot for some reason, will the schools look at the two different tests scores?

Thanks!

I have very little clue as to what kind of grades you need to get into which schools. I’ve got a 3.8 GPA right now in Psyc with a Poli Sci minor. I’ll be graduating early. Do you think I could get into an ivy league graduate program for psyc, either MA or PHD?

I transferred to another college with 3 semesters left for my undergrad in psychology. My GPA at my current school is 3.9, but my old one was more like 3.3. Do graduate schools weigh the current school higher, average the GPAs, or what?

Thanks!

I am looking at graduate schools and am looking for a list of schools that may not charge high out of state fees. Many schools charge double or triple for out of state students. Do you know of any that do not?

After six months of interviewing applicants nationwide, San Francisco Schools district has filled its top position. Carlos Garcia, Vice President of Urban Markets for McGraw-Hill (educational publishers), has been selected as the next Superintendent of San Francisco Schools. Board members have been seeking a replacement since January after interim Superintendent Gwen Chan announced that she would not return to the post in the fall.

Garcia was voted in due to his experience in San Francisco Schools, strong results as Superintendent of other districts, and good reputation as a fiscal manager. Garcia served both Fresno, California and Clark County, Nevada as Superintendent. From 1988-91 Garcia was principal of San Francisco Schools Horace Mann Middle School. During his tenure the school improved its achievement scores and received recognition for its accomplishments.

According to Board President of San Francisco Schools, Mark Sanchez, “ We chose Mr. Garcia because of his past experience with San Francisco, his strong track record as a superintendent and his understanding of the challenges that our district faces.” The San Francisco Schools have dealt with issues like declining enrollment over the past few years, as families leave for better districts and private schools. Initiatives like the small schools program are one of many that the San Francisco Schools are implementing to reverse this trend. This change in leadership may bring some of these programs into question, although the school board seems confident that Garcia is in line with their priorities.

Thirty applicants were interviewed since January in an attempt to find a new leader for the San Francisco Schools. Garcia’s credentials includes a B.A. from Claremont Men’s College in political science, a M.A. in education from Claremont Graduate school, and an administrative degree from California State University at Fullerton. Parents in San Francisco Schools provided input to the hiring process in the form of both community meetings, and over a thousand surveys, to determine the criteria for their next leader.

Leadership of the San Francisco Schools will have a strong impact on financial spending and program funding. Given pressure to meet national No Child Left Behind standards, administrators in San Francisco Schools are constantly making decisions about how best to allocate funds. California’s poor reputation on educational priorities and spending was recently highlighted by a think tank study that claimed that the state’s educational priorities are in such disarray that the whole system needs an overhaul. While San Francisco Schools leaders may agree with the study, they still need state funding to run their districts.

The fact that Garcia led one of the nation’s largest districts, Clark County, gives the San Francisco Schools reasons to hope that he will use the same financial wisdom in this district. Six of the seven board members voted for Mr. Garcia’s appointment, with the seventh asking for more time to decide. Garcia will begin serving San Francisco Schools on July 16th, 2007.

-I’ve heard that many graduate schools, even the not so good ones, require the student maintain a minimum GPA of a 3.0 throughout graduate school, while undergraduate students need a minimum GPA of a 2.0. what’s the deal?
- Also, why do they require the student to have a B- or better?

I’m applying to several schools for Graduate Studies in Religion. About how long does it take to make a decision? I submitted all the information on time, and most of the deadlines were in early December/January. I’m just wondering how much longer I have to wait. I hate waiting. lol.

I’m waiting on UVA, USC (carolina), FSU, Duke, UNC.
