*******tricks to get into grad school?!?

We Answered:

People who are trying to decide whether or not to let you into grad school aren't going to be swayed one way or the other by the difference between a 3.24 or a 3.27. Or even a 3.30. That's a pretty minute difference.

What you need to do to set yourself apart is to point out all the things that make you different from other applicants...like the things you mentioned: research assistantship, certificate course, and volunteer work. There will probably be a spot on the application to put all that stuff, and if you can you might want to talk about the impact those experiences had on you.

In grad school, you have to be self-motivated, hard-working, and you're going to do a lot of writing. Anything you can do to show you've got those skills down would go a long way towards convincing a grad school to accept you.

And a good GRE score doesn't hurt. Good luck!
