<li><p>Is it okay to go to grad school with the means of looking for a higher salary upon graduation? (This is from someone who is going to grad school out of college- 2yr masters not phd)</p></li>
<li><p>When is the GRE offered, on the site it says electronically every month, but then there is a sign up date, what does this mean? What is the maximum score on the GRE? and a reasonable score for grad school for a masters?</p></li>
<li><p>Can you get recommendations from professors you took in community college?</p></li>
<li><p>If your gpa is mediocre, do you even have a shot at grad school? 3.1-3.3?</p></li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>unless you are in the sciences, usually higher degree translates into a higher salary.</li>
<li>you can decide when you take the GRE, just pick a day, show up, sit down at a computer terminal and then wait for four to six weeks for your scores.</li>
<li>why not? they won’t hold as much weight but if that was the last person who knew you well, it’s better than a crappy one from a professor at a traditional university</li>
<li>my gpa was 3.3 and I got in almost everywhere I applied</li>
</ol>
<p>From my knowledge (I think StatsCan), Masters degrees gets you a bigger boost in salary from Bsc than a PhD, in terms of time spent in school. </p>
<p>I don’t understand belevitt’s “unless you are in the sciences”. You can’t do much with a Bsc, or even a MS in a biology field, but you can do a lot with a PhD.</p>
<p>And Belevitt should be a bit more honest, you did get in with a 3.3, but that was after several (I believe) years post-grad experience.</p>
<p>in the sciences, higher degrees do tend to translate to better salaries-both in academia and industry.</p>
