I called the school and they said they do accept scores after the deadline, but also mentioned it'll take longer to review (possibly because they assumed I haven't sent previous scores yet) because of the holidays etc. On the UCI site: Decisions are ongoing, therefore, you may hear as early as March or as late as May/June. So based on this, should I register for a date in february or march -- which would be better (for myself to study and for giving the school time to review)? Also, if they made a decision before my new scores get there, would they do another review or would I have to apply for 2015 quarter instead? Sorry for so many questions. It's my first time applying to grad school

Oh.. This is my first time applying to grad school, can anyone tell me if schools will consider scores sent after the deadline? Also, what should I use to study for the quant? I majored in management information systems, so there wasn't a lot of math involved, and I used the Manhattan books but the problems on the actual test seem completely different..

I just finished taking the test an hour ago.. Got 148 in both the verbal and quant.. Only had a month of studying and I don't have time to retake it because I applied to UC Irvine for the Fall 2014. Anyone familiar with the score ranges for getting into UCI for software engineering? What about San Jose State (2nd choice)

Would it be better to study word groups? I think this was mentioned in one of the GRE study books. Or actually memorizing words?

Is it wise to only focus on these two sections and not the verbal section? I had originally planned for a 2 month study plan but got caught up working full time for my internship... I also felt like it would be impossible to memorize so many words and maybe it'd be wiser to focus on something that I have a better chance of memorizing and doing. Note, I'm not saying I'm excellent in math or writing, just it seems like those two sections are easier to work on.

What does that mean? I mean there has to be some sort of cutoff of scores that they won't even consider right? For example, I was looking at UC Irvine's page and that's what it says. I'm thinking of applying for the CS or SE (software engineering) programs there.
