<p>I tried this on another thread and didint get much.....just hoping that there may be more of you with similar backgrounds in this thread....</p>
<p>Im thinking of getting a MS in either environmental or chemical engineering or hydrology, but im not sure if what have is/would be overkill, or that I'll be able to even get into a good program. Anyway, I have two related degrees.....B.S. Environmental Science (gpa 3.11) with an emphasis in water quality and an A.A.S. Water Quality Managenment Technology (gpa 3.43)</p>
<p>The negatives of getting into a really good program are my gpa's, my BS is not in engineering, (Im lacking the Statics and Mechanics courses) and my schools are pretty much unknown...The positive being the quantity of courses I have taken....and I mean alot of related and intersting stuff! (this isnt even all inclusive)</p>
<p>Hydrology, Hydrogeology, Hydraulics, Soil Resources, Limnology, Atmospheric Science, Physical Geology, Field Geology, Statistics, Environmental Statistics, General Chemistry I and II (and lab), Organic Chemistry (and lab), Environmental Chemistry, Remote Sensing, Geographical Information Systems, Environmental Field Studies, Technical Writing for the Environmental Industry, Environmental Impact Statements, Environmental Policy and Planning,Water Quality Management, Specific Calculations for Water Quality Management, Disinfection Treatment Techniques, Water and Wastewater Treatment Design Interpretations, Water Quality Analysis, General Biology, Human Biology, Microbiological and Bacteriological Water Quality Analysis, Environmental Sampling and Measurement, Mechanical and Physical Treatment, Water Resources and Supply, Industrial Wastewater Treatment and Monitoring, Critical Reading and Thinking, German I and II...and then all the math....</p>
<p>Im lacking the Physics, Statics, and Mechanics courses.....
I wont have a problem with the GRE but since applying to grad schools can become a costly adventure, im not sure I should even waste my time or money...</p>
<p>?????
So the question is "do I have a shot at a REALLY good engineering or hydrology program with/without additional prerequisites and a good GRE score?".</p>
