SO! I’m wrapping up my junior year as a civil engineering student at the University of New Hampshire and hoping to apply to some grad schools in the fall for admissions cycle of Fall 2020. I would be applying for an MS in Structural Engineering.Hoping to focus on Structural engineering but still have an interest in geotechnical. I recently took the GRE and I’m not too sure if I should take it again (not a great test taker). My list of schools are pretty tough to get into. What do you think my chances are? Is my list of schools okay? Should I take GRE again? Please be honest, any info helps!
