Percentage
Happy New Year, everyone!
Earlier in the week, I finally received my official GRE scores. Despite knowing the totals for Verbal and Quantitative, I was most anxious about the Analytical portion of the exam. The scores (with the exception of the Quantitative (much higher than I thought)) fell in the range I thought I would have. Therefore, I’m not retaking it. I don’t think the amount of Kaplan classes and additional books and time will improve my score to the number I need it to be. Luckily, if I don’t get into any of the schools I want, I can always find more graduate programs that don’t require the GRE.
Now, my problem lies with the schools. I have tried to call them to see if they have received all the required materials before the deadline. Some will post what they have on a Web site, but few bother to update them. For most of them, I have included self-addressed stamped postcards for them to send for notification, but they don’t send them back. That scares me, especially since they will also have to send back my slides. Three out of the four have application deadlines for this month with one being today. Yet, they seem not to be able to give me a clear answer as to if they have everything.
This really makes me upset.
