Congrats Witgig. I will only tell you to add Cleveland State Uni to your list of schools. If you know you can make your applications before November then apply to UMD College Park as well.
Apart from the fact that your GRE is good with your very strong work experience to boot - it is not the only thing that schools take note of. Your GPA for example is very good and I am sure you would put out very strong LORs and SOPs. Another thing many fail to take note of is early applications and to me, if you apply in or before November you'd be early enough to get the admission and possible funding.
Cheers mate. 2 Likes |

Which school is dat bro? Etap:
My advice for propective test takers is to try and eat something (not too much food oo) just little on the morning of exam, it will allow enough glucose to flow in for the brain to look sharp, for me we had an hour and thirty minutes delay during the test, we continued from where we stopped, when the system came up again , every one was looking tired, ....prepare with Barron, magoosh, kaplan , and mahanttan ..thats all i use, i have a score of 304, waiting for the essay part, my school needs about 307 for funding, so im kind of furious about the remaining score.Thanks |

Who has experienced this? Hey RexCheeng. how's the application going? Concerning the error you encountered while trying to upload your GRE/TOEFL score to your application page. Open the pdf copy of the score report from ETS with Adobe Reader. Try using the "Take a snapshot" option under the edit menu in the Adobe Reader to crop the relevant section of your score report, paste this cropped immage on MS word and adjust accordingly. Then convert back to pdf format from the word format and upload your stuff. Make sure you capture the relevant sections while cropping. I used this method to send just my GRE scores to schools without showing the schools where I had earlier sent my scores... Lemme know if this works. 7 Likes |

So I took the GRE 28th of last month here in PH.
Results summary:
Verbal: 157
Quant: 160
AWA: 4
Shockingly, I scored exactly 317 on my second powerprep test 3 days to my test date. I was only able to increase my score by 7 points from my first diagnostic test. Anyway, it was only God who helped me pull through because after totally breaking down for two weeks and getting better two weeks to test date, I discovered that I've lost some things. I just couldn't answer some question types like inferences and logic. Hmm! Including mixing up some subtle maths concepts. OK... What did I do? I gave up on relearning anything. I made a decision to work on my speed and tested that with the 2nd powerprep test. In the end, I scored 156 in verbal and 161 in Quant. While reviewing, I found out that most of my first gueses that I changed in the verbal were actually right (but I always have the challenge and fell for three trap in the actual test). In the quant I got all 20 questions right in the first session and 15/20 in the 2nd.
I had a funny run down to the test.
But my advice...
1. Please try as much as possible to eat something (my first mistake)
2. Take any medication you have to take for any challenge or pains (I went with my drugs but couldn't take them cos of doctor's warning not to take the medication without food)
3. Get as much water (I had finished 2 sachet and almost 1 Eva bottle before check in. Had to beg them to let me go outside the gate to get more water)
4. Pray it doesn't rain all day... Lol
5. Try to be as fast as possible. I was able to go through and review all my verbal answers with speed. I had 3 quant sessions. In two of them, I had 5 and 3 mins left respectively to review my responses and I was sure of not failing more than 1-2 questions per session. For one of the quant sessions, my time expired just before I will submit the answer to number 20 so no time to even review the questions I marked.
Finally, village people almost entered the hall but God pass them. I was noticeably the only one with challenges. Back pains and general body weakness that I'll always rest flat on the desk every second I had to rest before and during the test. My system froze like 4 times during my last two quant sessions. The system was restarted, I was logged back on and the next time it will freeze the screen displayed an Error message so they had to assign a new system.
But when I saw my final scores I was just laughing and smiling. God pass them.
Thanks to everyone who has given back to the forum:kindly reply my Pm athorello
