One Step Closer, But Everything Feels Farther Away
So, this morning started at 7 for me. Today was finally the day that I took the GRE. Everything went well, no traffic, got there on time, everything went smooth. I had to write the confidentiality statement, which meant that I had to write in cursive for the first time in years. Then came the test. The writing section was where I was worried because that's usually my weakest spot. However, I feel like I did okay, even though I won't know my score for at least a week and a half. As far as the verbal section, I knew that there were a few questions that I straight fucked up, however, I did about as I expected and how I wanted. The math section was where I pwned. I thought that I was going to run out of time because some of the questions were a bit computationally intense, but I finished with a couple of minutes to spare. In the end:
Verbal - 520
Qualitative - 800
For a total of 1320. I wanted at least a 1300-1350, so I got right in the middle of my range. Now, even with my grades, I gave myself a fighting chance for the grad school I want. Now, it's just a matter of getting the rest of my letters and applying. By this time next month I should be close to knowing my fate. Even though I'm still looking for signs, I have to do what I have to do.
