<p>I am looking to apply to:</p>
<li>Univ. of Southern California,
a. Master of Education, Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs (ME PASA) OR
b. Master of Education, School Counseling (and Pupil Personnel Services Credential)</li>
</ol>
<p>and</p>
<li>Univ. of Texas - Austin,
a. Master of Education, Higher Education Counseling OR
b. Master of Education, School Counseling</li>
</ol>
<p>I want to become a College Academic Advisor or a Career Advisor. Does either program require the GRE? </p>
<p>Can I be admitted the year after I finished undergraduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration? </p>
<p>Which alumni network is better around the country or Southern California? (where I would like to settle when the economy is better)</p>
<p>Will a UT - Austin degree be good enough in SoCal or does one need a USC degree to interact with alumni in SoCal?</p>
<p>Does USC give significant financial aid? Would a higher score on the GRE affect financial aid? (I scored a 1250 on the SAT - M 600 CR590 in 2004)</p>
<p>Is it necessary to have an advanced degree to pursue College/Academic Counseling?</p>
<p>What entry-level positions would lead to becoming a College/Academic Counselor or a College/Academic Counselor for high school students preparing for college admission?</p>
