rushedTopic: Taking the GRE
Hey Everybody!
My name is Ginger Joiner and I am the new blogger for the ALCA chapter IX website. I am very excited to have this opportunity to blog about what's going on with ALCA, school issues, and other interesting topics! So, here we go...
First topic, taking the GRE. You may notice that my mood has been marked as rushed. This is because I am a procrastinator (admitting it is the first step...right?). I am hoping to enter Troy University's Community Counseling Graduate program this Fall. It is now June 30th and I have only just now made my arrangements to take the GRE. My advisor advised me to prepare to take it about a year ahead of time, obviously, I didn't listen. I discovered that I could obtain a voucher for 50% off of the $150 cost of the test. I went to my financial aid office to obtain the requested signatures and school seals. Thinking that I have been very productive, I called the GRE center to determine if everything I had was in order. I was promptly informed that the expiration date on the voucher was June 30th, the date was June 27th. I rushed to the post office and ended up paying an extra $6 to get it there on time. I got confirmation of it's delivery this morning, it was delivered yesterday at 5:46a.m. Thank the Lord!
The moral of this little story is this, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE when attempting to enter Grad school! This exponentially increases stress and anxiety. Now all I have to do is wait 4-6 weeks for processing...Jeez.
I'll let yall know when I hear something.
