Is Grad School fun? I am going to Grad school as soon as I finish college and I was wondering will it still be as fun as Undergrad, or will it be all work and no play? I enjoy being on my school's dance team and was wondering if Grad students are still involved in the same activites as they were in undergrad. I mean I am only going to be 22 when I go to Grad school and am not ready to stop having the fun I had in Undergrad, so I just wanted to know for people who went to ... (Asked by Shaki)

Grad school is meant to get that advanced degree to open the door to promotional opportunities in one's chosen career. In your case, you seem to be looking for a place to hide so you don't have to be out there in the world paying your own way like the rest of us. Get a job and perhaps you'll grow up and take some responsibility for yourself!...(Answered by Angela)

Grad classes are definitely more challenging, but that's the point - you're ready and eager for a challenge in a field of study that you love. I was fairly sick of the mediocre conversation of my fellow English department undergrads and the plain ... well ... unchallenging nature of undergrad classes by the time I graduated. And I absolutely love grad school. I wouldn't even think of trading it for a stupid brain-numbing 40-hour-a-week job (but I also plan to pursue a doctorate after I've finished my master's). I teach freshman English four times a week and it's the most ...(Answered by allegra)

To engineer grad students, has anybody switched eng majors from undergrad to grad? How was the transition? I am considering switching from Industrial Eng. (undergrad) to Mechanical Eng. for grad school. If anybody has any other switches, I would like to know how the transition is. For example, is it harder than undergrad because its grad school and you don't have as much background or is the major just harder? I'd like to know your thoughts. ... (Asked by Vincent)

Hi, I'm sorry that no one has answered your question. It's a tough one, I think, and to get a good solid answer, I have given you a link to some discussion threads that may hold an answer that you are looking for. This link appears to have more of what you may be interested in...geared more towards your question, that is, rather than here where the questions & answers are mostly "general". I don't know if this helped, or not, but I thought I would give it a shot...which was apparently more than what anyone else has tried to do.... good ...(Answered by laugh_out_loud)

Female grad students-what to wear to interview for grad school? Just wondering. I've done interviews at medical school and went all out with the whole pants suit deal (black pants, black fitted suit top, white tailored shirt). That worked well for the MED school interviews, but people have told me grad school is different. Should I do the same outfit for grad school interviews? Or is that over the top? I could ditch the suit, but I just thought it looked nice. Plus, alot of college professors go casual these days and I don't wanna be way over dressed (or, under dressed, I guess!). This is for mostly doctoral programs, by ... (Asked by jane w)

You should definitely look professional for your interviews. When you are a grad student or a professor, then you have earned the ability to choose to "dress down" like your peers. Seriously, it always looks better to be overdressed than underdressed in an interview situation. Wearing a suit to your interviews will convey the seriousness of your intentions. Best wishes to you!...(Answered by )

Grad School Question? I would like to go to grad school, to get a PhD in psychology. Lets say that in psychology glasses, i get all A's (which so far is true) but in classes unrelated to my major, such as music, philosophy, or political science, i get mostly B's or maybe one or two C's. Would the people determining if i get into grad school be concerned if i don't get A's in classes which have nothing to do with the subject that i want to study in grad school? ...

It is absolutely unbelievably difficult to gain admission to a doctoral program in Clinical Psych. The national average of admitted candidates regularly hovers between 6% and 7%. The top programs admit only 1% of applicants. For that reason, applicants with the highest cumulative GPAs are the best candidates. A 3.6 is average. Lab research is also absolutely crucial, and letters of rec from your lab supervisors must be stellar. GREs are also very important. Many programs have a cutoff of about 1300 and a 4 on the old GRE, but the average GRE for ...(Answered by )

Grad School? I got into Grad School for a chemistry PHD program in an ok program, but my girlfriend did not get into the same school. She's gonna be 4-5 hours away in grad school herself. This is the one. Do I go to grad school and try and make things work, or do I continue working with a b.s. in chemistry in CT and continue working towards a MS at a local crappy university? What are the odds that a long distance dual grad school relationship will work? ... (Asked by Michael M)

If I were you, I'd go to that decent PhD program. If that's what you really want in terms of your career, I don't think you have a choice. If you don't go, you could very well not only regret that choice, but also end up blaming your girlfriend/wife ten or fifteen years from now. That sort of thing, the slowly building resentment, the "if only" and "what if", can destroy even the best relationship. If she really is the one, then your relationship may be able to handle the distance, so long as you are both committed to making ...(Answered by RoaringMice)

Questions about grad school requirements? I am looking to apply to some of the top grad schools for a computer science and mathematics related field (such as combinatorial computational geometry or even computational linguistics), but I go to a distance learning undergrad college. I don't have the opportunity to get to know my teachers for letters of recommendation. I work full-time (software test lead) and go to school full-time, my GPA is 3.5, major is Applied Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics, and I have recently become an assistant to a doctor I work with doing research in computational geometry. I ... (Asked by zaiewilliams)

As you have a bit of a non-traditional educational background, top schools may have trouble determining how good your 3.5 GPA really is. So letters of recommendation may prove to be very important. If I were you, I would push for those. The interesting thing is that not everyone does well in online coursework, and I have found that if you actually do well, the professors sometimes remember you, even though you did not have close direct contact with them. I got an important recommendation for a program that I am currently in, from a professor I had ...(Answered by Edward W)

Grad School for Artists???!!!? I have been working on my BA degree in studio arts and english; due to my love of both. Lately I have been considering grad school, but find it very hard to get a direct answer about how exactly grad school in the arts (what i would be taking grad for is fine arts) would positively affect my career and my abilities, which will help me live out my dreams of doing art for galleries and museums, and writing. Honestly, I think I have the ability to branch out as an artist or with my talent and enter the comic ... (Asked by )

From what I researched getting a Masters in the Fine Arts is only really necessary if you want to teach. If you really want to go to graduate school you could look into business for example if you want to open your own gallery. Art administration, museum studies and conservation are also possibilities. http://www.utexas.edu/cofa/career/media/studioguide.pdf...(Answered by MISS KNIGHT)
