My chances at grad programs?

Graduate School

<p>For some reason when I posted this, the forum was changed to the "chance me" section and I've gotten no replies since it seems to be undergrad only over there.</p>

<p>So, here goes again. </p>

<p>Hello. Looking to go to graduate school for Sociology. I have really no clue if I can get into grad schools with my somewhat weird situation. I am graduating early (by 2 years) and I am worried that it will affect my chances negatively. Please let me know your thoughts.</p>

<p>New Mexico State University (dual credit in HS) - 30 credits with 3.7 GPA
Kent State University (Currently enrolled) - 3.47 cumulative GPA (summer term GPA - 4.0)
Major - Sociology - GPA 3.7
Minor - Women's Studies - GPA 4.0
Certificate in Nonprofit Management and Human Services - GPA 4.0
Domestic student, US Citizen, Ohio resident
GRE - Have not taken</p>

<p>Honors College Scholar
Graduating August of 2012.</p>

<p>Graduated High School Spring of 2010. (Rank 13/328 weighted GPA- 4.839, however I am pretty sure this doesn't even come into consideration)</p>

<p>Need/interested in assistantships/GA/TA.</p>

<p>I want to pursue a MA in Sociology.</p>

<p>Schools I'm looking at:
New Mexico State University - Main Campus
Ohio State University
University of Arizona</p>

<p>I plan on going straight into grad school in the fall of 2011.</p>

<p>No research, no published work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>If you need financial support, you need to look at a lot more than just three schools. Broaden your search to at least six, maybe more. With master’s programs, getting accepted is no guarantee of being funded. I got seven acceptances out of eight applications, but only three schools offered me funding.</p>
