Even though I knew my GRE scores did not meet the exact requirements for Western KY's Library Science Program, it did not feel good tonight when I opened the letter telling me they denied my acceptance because of it. I am befuddled as to how I can be an English major with a 3.75 GPA yet I made a 3.0 on the writing portion of the GRE. My other scores were not great but they were enough. But I have to have a 3.5 on the writing portion to get into the program. What a letdown!
This is not going to discourage me though. This is what I want to do. I am not a good test taker. I never have been. I know that. But I am an excellent student and I will make an excellent Librarian. This minor setback is only going to push me harder to get in. I will take that test again, as soon as they will let me. And I will make what I need to make this time. And if I don't...I will still apply. And I will do alternate admission. I will do whatever it takes to get in, because this is what I want to do. This is no different that the last 4 years of school. This is no different than any other obstacle in my life. I don't quit. I don't give in. I don't step down. Ever. So I am not upset. Yes, I am dissapointed. But nothing is going to keep me from acheiving my goals. Especially not a standardized test.
