Sometimes on the quant section, I think it may be the case that slightly more knowledge can hurt you. Imagine on the first time you take the gre, you just guess right away on questions you are unfamiliar with. After studying more, you see questions and think "oooh I vaguely know how to do this, if I keep working at it, I could nail it" but then you waste all of your time on one or two question and have to guess later on for questions you probably vould have solved. Just a thought

Is anyone else already addicted to the 'Results Search' page? I am, and my apps aren't even due until Dec. 1st. Also, will everyone make sure to post their results please! Thanks, SP30

I enjoyed my experiences with Magoosh. Off and On all summer, pretty much the only thing I used. I also used Kaplan flash cards. I got a 162V and 157Q, which I was very happy with. I know I wouldn't have done as well without Magoosh. All of my Q scores were higher in practice, and all of my V scores were lower in practice. If I retook, I would not be surprised to see my scores just switch, but being a Psych student, the V is more important so I am happy I've also heard that Magoosh does a great job getting you into the 155-160 range, but is not much help in getting you past that hump and into those phenomenal scores.

All of you procrastinators make me feel really good about getting all my apps in so early You'll all be okay, don't forget to breathe!

Indeed, naturally so

9 PhD apps in, just waiting on my last letter writer to pull it together. Will also begin putting together a handful of Masters apps, but hopefully it won't be an issue. My roommate just got his first acceptance letter to Law School today, so I've been celebrating that with him, while everyone asks me why I haven't gotten any letters yet I'm excited for him, but I wish the process would speed up for me. Waiting game = Excruciating...

I've heard it can be a fun idea to get them something really small from the school you have chosen to attend. Food for thought.

"Just waiting on my Letters of Rec..." Friends: "So where have you gotten into so far?" Me: "Won't know until well into next semester" 11:11 rolls around my clock "I wish that I get into every school that I applied for."

What?

Colorado State is the same! I love that schools do this. Additionally, some schools will not require Official Transcripts until after you've been accepted as well, which can save you a fair amount of money there. Cheers!

It absolutely makes a difference. If you want your LOR to hold any value to the admissions committee, you need to waive your right to access the letter of rec. This makes it so that the letter writers can actually write whatever they want to say with out worrying about how you will feel about it. The admissions committee will view a letter as tainted if you do not waive the legal right to access it. Hope this helps, and happy application season! SP30

Sometimes, I get so excited that I'm not applying to Clinical programs. Good luck to everyone out there who is, I hope you also found a split second during your undergrad to have some "fun"
