Congrats ! This really enlightens me as I always considered that there are some people who are particularly good at GRE . But the secret is to really make an efficient schedule and also not ignoring the fact that you had enoug h time to prepare for it which was the thing I lacked... That's great, your method seems relevant and rational. I'll use it for this summer to retake the gre. Your post is really encouraging

Hello everyone Unfortunately my application has been denied for unknown reasons (I called them) ...It's just a second master anyway. It was going to be helpful for me to have an international outlook. But whatever, I think I aimed too big and now I am paying for it ... Good luck for the rest and thanks for the support .

I totally agree with you EMPOWERgreRichC. Gre needs to get prepared. the main problem is I didn't get enough time to prepare for both of the tests as I am currently in my masters degree in France. In case you don't know how it works in France, we study 8hours per day. So I was preparing for the gre along with the projects and tests I had and I have to say that the preparation was very weak . I just bought the kaplan book and read it the night before the exam so to have an idea about the format of the exam... Anyways, my question was more about how the Admission department would perceive it knowing that I have a solid Math related subject background . Decision has been made by Gtech now. I am still now waiting for their e-mail ! Hopefully it's a "congratulations" kind of email ...

I really hope so... I should get an answer by the end of April according to the admission department

Hello everyone. I am a french student and applied to a double degree program with Gtech in Mechanical Engineering. I had to take twice the GRE in order to get the passing requirements for Gtech. I got 155 in the quantitative section after 2 shots and I am pretty sad about it . The thing is I am very very good at maths. I am ranked 1st/110 in maths at my university. I have also participated in maths competitions since secondary school to finally arrive to the semi-finals. ( The final was the international competiition) . I have a really strong maths skills. But having 155 in the GRE is depressing and was completely unexpected and have no clue how Gtech would take this. In my SOP , I have talked about my passion towards Maths and my abilities, but didn't talk about my GRE score ... my question is do you think how much penalized I might get by this low score? Did anyone get accepted by such a low quant score ? I have really good LOR's and a very good SOP (to me) and a good GPA ( not 4 but around 3.5). One more thing is that I am applying to Georgia Tech Lorraine and not Atlanta. they should answer me over the course of next week... Thanks
