The Verdict

Verbal: 650
Quantitative: 600

Very, very disappointed. Cried on the way home. Cried at home. Curled up in a ball and snuggled with Rowen. Went to bed early. Still feeling kind of wrung out this morning and did NOT need to come into the office on a Saturday to find an e-mail from the department director titled "CYA" and scolding me for not enabling my manager's personality disorder.

Really, really want to just crawl back into bed for the rest of the weekend.

So you took the GRE and got the score already? I remember waiting for weeks.

And what's this about the manager's personality disorder?

And your scores are fine! I had a friend who got a 400 or something on the math section and still got into Georgetown for grad school. You have nothing to worry about.

With the new computer testing, you get your scores as soon as you are finished. You know, so the testing center staff can amuse themselves by watching you have your breakdown right then and there.

I never had to take the GRE for either of my grad programs (lucky!). What's the best score you can get?

:-(

The scores range 200 to 800 in each section.

Yes, I'd be pretty proud! I can't imagine those scores wouldn't be good enough. They probably just want to make sure you're not a total idiot before they admit you into the program. :-)

Oh, sweetie. I meant to wish you luck on those. I'm sorry you didn't do great. Not that I know what good scores are cuz I've never taken them. (Me and further structured schooling do not mix, unless I enjoy being a stressed out psychopath.) Are you taking them again? Maybe you need more of us to give you good luck!!

Those sound like good scores to me! I'm sorry you didn't do as well as you wanted to, though. But I don't put much faith into tests. Your undergraduate degree and personal statement should be all that counts into getting into an advanced program.
