Grad School Questions.?

We Answered:

A grad student typically takes 2-3 classes, and that is considered full-time in grad school. Your chances of getting an assistantship vary by field - if you're going into math or the sciences, you can pretty much expect to be offered one by any decent university. They'll pay your tuition and a small salary in return for you grading papers, proctoring exams, and/or doing research. My university says the assistantship is 20 hours a week - so 50% would be 10 hours a week. But don't expect it to stick to that - I work more like 60 hours a week when I'm at home, and 24 hours a day when I'm away on a research trip. If you do well on the GRE, send them the scores, it can only help. If they don't require it, then it shouldn't affect your chances.
