I also have to take a bunch of pre-requisites for the masters program so that i don't have to get another bachelors degree. And i have to get letters of recommendation from professors who probably don't even remember me anymore, among other things. I'll be happy if I can at least get into the community college there at this rate!

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I don't want to go back to law school, and am debating grad school. My background is in biopsych, but I would only get a master's in psych if it there was a sports emphasis. However, there aren't that many programs that offer that. So, I was thinking about nutrition or PT.

When I worked @ World Gym I was certified by ACE & AFAA

And both of those certs were a total joke

hahah i'm sorry!

And there was another gym (Fitness Works, or Fit Works or something like that) that scoffs at all other certifications but their own. They insist all their trainers be APEX certified. and then you have to sell their APEX-brand meal replacements, supplements, protein, etc. as part of your job as a trainer! WTF!!!

Yeah it is tough!!! At least you have SOME kind of scientific background! I have a communications background, and poor patrick has a jazz guitar background! We're really struggling to qualify for these people. The sad part is that both he in his program and me in mine, are probably better qualified than some of the kids coming in from an undergrad in chemistry or something like that, just from the amount of reading we do, and the hands-on work experience. Sadly, it's a piece of paper and a standardized test score that will determine whether we get in or not.

Oh yeah, and i'm taking my GRE (again) on may 27. I registered for it yesterday and well. whatever happens happens. The first time i took it, i didn't even study for it. I just signed up and showed up a week later to take it. I got a really good score. Then again, I was in school at the time, senior in college. Now i've been out of school for a while, my brain doesn't work the same way anymore, not without some practice, I think. So I'll have to study for it. Or at least take some kind of prep thing for it. Ugh.

Bah. I'll have to take the GRE, which looks easier than the LSAT and other tests (even the SATs). However, fractions and decimals suck and I'm a horrible test taker.
