I used the ETS materials as well. I was VERY nervous going into it, but ended up scoring higher than the timed practice test that I did. (My official scores were V: 162, Q: 155, and AW: 4.5.) I also used Magoosh for vocab practice. It seemed to me as though the questions on the actual test were harder than those in the practice test--but who knows. Good luck!

That makes me feel better, thanks!

I am an our-of-field (music performance) applicant, and I graduated 5.5 years ago. I have taken the pre-reqs required for my top choice (UVM) through their pre-masters program online over the past year. I am having a hard time deciding who to ask for LORs. I have a music history professor from music school who I could get a decent letter from, as well as a more recent chemistry professor, but since all of my in-field classes have been online, even though I received A's in all of the courses, I don't feel super comfortable asking any of those professors as we have never met. Can I ask a professor who I am on good terms with (we've emailed back and forth a couple times since the course ended, and I got an A+ in her class) to write me an LOR? I would resend her a couple of my papers/projects to refresh her memory. Or wouldn't that be a strong letter? Has anyone had success doing this?

Is anyone still waiting on UVM? I saw some acceptances and a a waitlist/rejection in the results but I haven't heard anything!

Has anyone else not heard from University of Vermont yet? From what they have told me I expected to hear by now, and know that a first round of acceptances/declines went out at the beginning of the month. I am so anxious but don't want to keep bugging admissions!

Has anyone else not heard from UVM? At this point chances seem slim for me, and I checked on my application a couple weeks ago and they said decisions were going out "shortly." Anyone else in the same position? I thought we all would have heard by now as the open houses are less than a week away.
