Allright this may But I am here to ask the Pricescope Fairy to help me do well on my GREs on Monday (October 3rd). My scores are vital to my getting into a doctoral program. Pretty Please with a cherry on top send good thoughts my way. I am so nervous it is making me shaky. Thanks ya''ll!
Good luck, I''m sure you''ll do just fine! Is this your first time taking it? I took them twice, the last time the day of a big football game, with the band and the tailgaters very loud, but I did the best on that one!
You are going to be A-OK!!!!!!!! Pricescope fairy is sprinkling pixie dust your way!!!!
Seriously, you''ll be fine--I was scared of the GRE and honestly didn''t study enough for the math, and it was still fine. Are you doing just the general or a subject test too? Get plenty of sleep the night before and make sure you have a full (but not too full!) tummy so you don''t get hungry and loopy towards the end--it''s a LONG one!
Good luck! I remember doing logic problems over and over till I wanted to scream! You''ll do great, and by the time you get your doctorate, you won''t even remember what those stupid scores were (I sure don''t!)!!
BTW, let''s say you score a hair under what certain grad programs look for...apply ANYWAY...life is NOT just about test scores and let me tell you, there were brain children in my old department that aced the GREs and then DROPPED OUT...those of us who did well or pretty well or even average were the ones who STUCK IT OUT and earned degrees! So just remember they will not ONLY be judging you on these test scores, and if you have a strong application otherwise, the GREs will not stop you from getting an interview.
over this whole application process. When I was in HS I never worried about getting into college and I got in everywhere I applied.(Nerd girl big time!
) But now this is just weird. I have been looking at the same application essay (well the two I have to write are uber close) for a month and am no closer to finishing it. I want this so badly.
I know I would be a good pyschologist if I can get in, but if I dont I have not the slightest clue what I want to do. I really want to counsel people. I am going to spend the weekend forgetting my diet program and focusing on the GRE''s.
I am so grateful that ya''ll are here! This way I can vent and not worry about having to compare test scores!
Thank you all for your good wishes! I am scared right down to my toes! I started getting sick last night and today....I am just so frightened. I am so lucky to have people who do not even know me rooting me. Thanks ya''ll. *hugs*
Eight hours to go! I am so jittery!!! In 12-13 hours I will know. Anyone else awake?
FFF- Oh shopping you say! I want to go! As soon as I know when I''ll be up there you can either help me celelbrete, or work through some serious retail therapy.
Lets hope for the former.
