Be Calm...Well, it has come at last! In just a few hours, I will take the GRE. I got up early this morning and went for a walk, listened to a little vocabulary, did a few warm-up exercises, and made sure to eat a healthy breakfast.
The realization that I came to on my walk this morning is just that I have done all that I can. I have studied so hard for this test and there is nothing more to do except relax and kick butt. I am excited and pumped for the test. Here I go!
Later:
I did it! I am at a loss for words now but here are my scores:
Verbal: 580
Quantitative: 780
Composite: 1360
I am so happy right now. I cannot believe I scored so high on the Quantitative section. I almost got a perfect math score (a perfect math score is 800). This score will definitely help me get a foot in the door (and at least not get immediately rejected) from the programs I want to apply to. Now, I can think about the application process more. I have been wanting to look at programs all summer but it just wasn't practical without having taken the GRE. Some of the programs I have been thinking about applying to include but are not limited to:
University of Texas (in Austin)
University of Virginia
Arizona State University
UCLA
Stanford University
Brown University
Universidad de Sevilla
and many others.
I just don't know exactly where I'll be applying to, but I will know soon. I am a little hesitant toward such prestigious places like Stanford or Brown but I might have the credentials to get in. I checked online and my GRE score is higher than the average student's score at every school in the country (including Harvard, Princeton and Yale). There are just too many uncertainties, though, so I will have to look at all of this more in-depth later.
