Graduate School Req's

So, I'm looking at Graduate school. I've pretty much decided on one of two, if I can get in: College of Charleston and University of South Carolina.

So, let's look at the requirements:

( College of Charleston )

That's actually a lot. I understand GRE scores are necessary. Need to talk to someone about when I should take it.

( University of South Carolina )

Things I need to work on over Christmas:

- GRE studying
- Letters of Rec
- Statement of purpose

I also need to look into my writing and see about writing something for the submission.

Everyone wants literary, but I don't do literary.

Anyone have any advice? I know there's a couple on here who have taken the GRE/gone to grad school.
