  1. Hey, MBALA. Like the user above me said, Magoosh is an excellent source. It bumped up my GRE score by like 10 points. I also had a Manhattan Prep tutor, but it was kind of expensive. Manhattan Prep definitely has the best practice books, I think. With standardized tests, you just need to practice, practice, practice. Do some word problems for at least a half hour a day. Increase your vocabulary and do your best to keep steady at it. Good luck to you!
  2. I don't know. I figured it would be best to change the topic in order to find an adviser, but I was very wrong.
  3. Honey, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking to me. Please forgive me. I'm just so used to people getting angry at me on here when I ask specific questions. I hope you'll forgive me for my stupid, careless mistake.
  4. But if someone else is abrasive towards me, it's okay?
  5. But since you are all dying for details, here they are. I'm a very private person, so excuse me if I don't give out full details. Yes, I'm in an MA program, my last semester. The thesis is halfway done. I've been working with her for about three months now, but she had an "emergency" and "prior commitments" come up. I approached her for my topic, she accepted, we worked on my thesis, then she dropped me because of her "emergency." I got into Columbia for a PhD program, so I need to ensure my graduation date. I'm planning to get my PhD in Comparative Literature. I've spoken to the committee, and they paired me up with a new adviser. Problem solved. Happy now, everyone?
  6. You're using the collective "we." Why, did you have the same questions? At least make them a bit concise so you don't overwhelm your reader. I'm assuming you never studied literature.
  7. I was going to scrap the thesis I have now and work on something else, but I decided to stick with my topic. I'm actually doing quite well with my project. Do you really expect me to read all of that? Lol! But I did find a few editors on my school campus. I'm almost done writing, so I'll have them take a look at it as soon as my new adviser gives me the "Okay. Go."
  8. Writing, writing, writing this thesis! Fingers are about to fall off. :D

  9. Umm... my thesis is halfway done, honey. I need an editing service to ensure that it's well written. My adviser left me by saying that I had one of the best and most passionate topics. She simply said that she had "prior commitments."
  10. Do you know any tutoring or writing help services that can assist me in formulating my thesis project?
  11. Well, better believe it, because that is exactly what happened. I'm an MA student writing my thesis.
  12. That's okay. Thanks so much. I'm just wondering if the chat users are right. They keep telling me to write a letter of complaint.
  13. I can't seem to find a new adviser, and I contacted the department head. I don't know if I should continue writing at this point. My topic is good, but I cannot believe my adviser just bailed and said, "I have prior commitments." What am I to do?
