Joanne Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 For those interested, it's the Houston Graduate School of Theology. I had a preliminary appointment. Today I dropped off my transcripts. It was weird seeing those after all these years. I really did get 2 degrees with a 3.5867 average. I really did get a C+ in Accounting II. ;) I LOVED THE PLACE. It was small, cozy, intimate, and much like where I went for my undergraduate degrees. For who I am and the nature of my degree, less institutional "works". So does not-secular. Although I am not exclusive spiritually, I am also not secular. If I get accepted (conditionally, because I will have to take the GRE sometime fall semester), I will start in just over a week! Can you imagine?? Our estimated family contribution is a big fat "0", so I qualify for the max in loans both subsidized and unsubsidized. I plan on taking 9 credits to start, maybe bumping it up when I can quit my Tournament Director job. I will attend in the summers as well. There are 3 tracks: Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor and one with both. I'm going to do both even though it adds a semester or two. I think both will work for where I want to go with this. I need a backpack, pens, paper, ......and probably a new planner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabeth Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Good luck. The GRE is a piece of cake. Keep us updated. Are you kidding me?? The GRE was proof to me that there should be a special place in hell for test writers. The LSAT was in my opinion a piece of cake but the GRE....( shudder) I performed well but it was truly a huge effort. I would certainly prepare for the exam.

TwinMominTX Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Ok, that is funny! I took both the LSAT and the GRE and much preferred the GRE. I did well on both, but felt like I did better on the GRE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
