  1. Is anyone here headed to NYU in the fall?
  2. I have no idea how I'm even supposed to begin to make this decision....

    Does anyone have any experience with NYU's Washington Square Village and the grad. housing waitlist? The housing website is pretty vague, so I'm not even sure if it's a more affordable option than living off campus. I know that if I were to live off campus, I would need to live in a relatively more affordable area with roommates. I'm currently living overseas so I won't be able to visit apartments and areas in person (and I don't really know much about the various boroughs and neighborhoods), so I thought on campus housing might be a better fit for me. Any ideas?
  4. I took the computer based test on the the 17th and was able to see my scores earlier this week. I also received a few emails from schools that they had already received my scores on the 28th and 29th.
  5. I recently took the GRE and ended up with pretty abysmal scores. I received a 156 V and 146 Q. I knew my quant score would be pretty bad, as I've always had trouble with math and didn't expect too much. However, I thought that I would do a lot better on the verbal section as my practice test scores were pretty high. I've been studying for 1.5 hours per day since September, but I only used the Princeton Review book, the word smart book, and the PowerPrep software as my funds were extremely limited. I barely scraped together enough money to take the test (ETS denied my waiver request) and my first few deadlines are coming up in December, so I won't have the opportunity to retest. I'm applying for a Master's in Near Eastern Studies, but I feel like I've blown my chances with my poor GRE scores. The rest of my application is very strong (high GPA, honors grad, research & professional experience, strong LORs, etc), but I'm worried given the prestige of some of the schools I'm applying to that my application will just be thrown out. I've worked so hard on my applications, and I have no doubts in my mind that the MA (and eventually a Ph.D) are what I want. I'm just very worried that I no longer have a chance at being accepted at any of the schools I'm applying to anymore. Should I just forget about applying or is there still a chance for me?
  6. V: 156 Q: 146 I feel like an idiot. I was hoping for better since my practice tests were a lot higher. I can't even afford to retake it since I barely scraped together the money for the first test. I guess I blew my chances.
  7. I got in for Intermediate Turkish!! I'm so excited! Congrats to everyone else who got in!
