So I am starting to get my grad school applications together for a program in Library Science. At this point I am near a mental breakdown wondering if I will get in (3.08 GPA, minimum is a 3.0, limited work experience in the field). *goes off and cries in a corner*

At least you're at the bare minimum. My GPA is so bad, no matter how much experience I've racked up, test scores and even letters of rec could make up for it.

The two schools I wanted to get into (ranked 11th and 20th) do not require the GRE. I'm trying to find a third that has a high acceptance and does not require the GRE or something else.

I hope you have your math down well. It's basically a high school math exam, so the expectation is that engineers/CS'ers will be able to score a perfect 800.

You think you have it bad. Grad school application time means that I have endless hours of graduate committee review trying to pick which one of you "unmolded minds" to accept.

I've got the US news law school book sitting on my lap if you need help with that sector.
