Welcome to my Journey!

Hey there you lucky reader! You've perhaps stumbled upon or searched for a way to help yourself with getting into graduate school. Maybe you too have no idea what you are doing, or maybe you just need some support along the way.

I made this blog because I thought it would be nice to help other people realize that they are never alone when life throws all of these new expectations at us! 100-years ago, it was awesome if you finished high school. 50-years ago, you were a genius if you went all the way to college. Now, you're not so special unless you bite the bullet and go the whole nine -- graduate school, medical school, law school.

Of course, we are a great generation and our parents have raised us well! We can make it that far if we just try, but since we are all getting into this while in our twenties, we are expected to go about it relatively independently. With this blog, I will denote the motions of someone who has had no need for such independence suddenly taking things into her own hands -- because I don't have a choice...

I will get into grad school if it's the last thing I do! Who's with me?

Site Review

Here you will find a list of handy websites that should make grad school research a lot easier!

The Educational Testing Service -- This organization actually creates and gives the GRE, which potential grad students need to take in order to be considered for grad school, offers on its site links to the select ogranizations that are licensed to accredit the grad schools we wish to attend. I suggest looking at the associated sites if you want to be assured the schools you choose will give you a degree that matters!

GradSchools -- This site hosts a lovely search engine for USA grad schools and allows you to narrow them down by location, degree, campus vs. online, and other ways!

Council on Social Work Education -- For those seeking information on accredited schools offering an MS/MSW degree. This site is the homepage for the organization that reviews and gives accreditation to graduate schools offering social work degrees in the United Sates.
