(no subject)
I honestly can say that I have hit the panic mode. I took the GRE and scored pretty low (didn't even hit 500 on either the verbal or quant) two weeks ago; I received my official scores today and had a lower score on the analytical writing (something that I am usually strong in). Given my current economic situation, I cannot afford to retake the test (even if I recieve financial aid...cutting the cost by half). I know that these scores are not reflective of my abilities as a graduate student...my Letters of Recommendation are really good and I have a solid personal statement and writing sample. However, my GPA wasn't all that great either. I'm not sure how I should approach this with the schools that I am considering. Should I even mention the reasons behind my low scores?
