The scores are based on a scale where 800 is the highest and 200 is the lowest.
The verbal score shuld do well enough, depending on the percentile rank. The math, well let's just say that part way through the process, I found out that the math wasn't as important, so the math score is what it is.
I'm just glad it is over with.
Michael, my advice is, if you've got the cash, take a course. Start studying now and take as many practice exams as you can. And good luck when it comes up.

I would agree on the course, took one prior to my GRE and it helped. Now I find myself faced with taking the stinking test again though. I'm thinking of going back to school (another degree) and they tell me my test has "expired".

Yeah, that's how they get you. It's like the academic version of the mafia.

Amen. Unfortunately, as an Economics major, I would have to take precalculus, elementary stats., applied calculus, and it has been recommended that I also take plain calc. 1. Math sucks. If I had trouble with simple highschool geometry, then what hope is there for me in calculus? Of course as fate would have it, I wanted to do the things that require math like engineering or the sciences (and to a smaller extent Economics, but I like it much better than those things), but I got the verbal and written expression genes in the family. My sister however, has gotten all of the logical and math genes in the family, although she wants to be a lawyer which would more so require my skills. Oh what a tangled web we weave.

Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you were not admitted.
I feel like a deflated baloon.

See my prior post for the same joke, but far more subtle. -5 redundant.

Well, when I read your joke, I assumed it was just a reference to, say, anti-depression pills. Whereas Cartman's joke was obviously phallic in nature. So, either they were not the same joke, or yours was too subtle.

I did briefly consider the possibility that Omega might have been referring to Viagra, but I just didn't think it was in his character. B)

Ah, levity. I used to understand and appreciate it.
At the moment, I'm just trying to figure out what happened and why they made the decision they made.
I'm still more than a little bit shocked, because, while I'm clearly not THE best candidate, I thought for sure I'd be in the top 60%...which apparently was the admission % this year.
It's really quite a blow.
