<p>Hi, guys. Thank you all so much for your responses.</p>
<p>I was actually already planning on taking a year between–I know that I’ll need time to get ready for the GRE and work on preparing strong applications. For some reason, I thought that was implicit in my original post: obviously, I should’ve been more clear.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that it’s extremely difficult to be admitted into most post-bac programs. Would I be better off heading for community college and hoping for the best? Would programs I ultimately apply to frown on a return to community college, since my community college transcripts would then have to be submitted alongside my coursework from UW?</p>
<p>Also, yes, I’m aware that sociology is a branch of the social sciences (hard to make it through as a sociology major without being aware of at least that much). I’d mentioned the humanities because French and German are prominent research languages in both the humanities AND the social sciences, and most of the threads I’ve browsed here have dealt with the importance of French and German when studying history, linguistics, etc.</p>
