I recently took a test to apply for grad school, and I failed. It's not possible now to go to school for another year due to dates. I've already pushed it back a year, and now it will be two. I have no idea what to do with 2013 now. People keep telling me "whatever I want" but they don't understand, I wanted to start grad school.

I'm so sorry that happened. I pushed grad school back a year, and it seemed like an eternity. I quit two jobs that year because I was so sick of what I was doing. I just wanted to go back to school.
Looking back, I wish I had worked a stable job for TWO years to pay off debts. If I had done entry level work in my field my resume would look better, too. Plus, grad school is hard! I wish I could have taken it easy a little longer (and could have dealt with some mental health issues). Whatever you do, look for a class that will help boost your entry exam scores. That's the first step to going where you want next year. |

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. You didn't mention what area you wanted to go into..Generally speaking there are some alternative routes in most areas, such as online schools or combined degrees where you study part online and part in classroom. You could also see if you could audit some classes (visiting student). Some Schools have several start dates during the year, so maybe you could look for schools starting in spring or summer and just study/work/volunteer/travel until then. Another good way to bridge the time gap would be to find an internship in your desired field of study. Good luck for the next year! I hope it works out.

If you are applying for law or medicine, any class you take for credit at an accreddited 2 year or 4 year college WILL augment your undergrad GPA. This can be a double-edged sword; on the one hand you stand to significantly improve your GPA and thus offset a low LSAT or MCAT score. But, on the other hand, if you don't do well in the course it will lower your undergrad GPA.
Bottom line: take any class you take for credit post B.A. seriously. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
