Hey all, I've got a quandary. I'm applying for Spring admission which I think may be causing me to have weird, mismatched schedules between programs I am applying to. I have been admitted to one program already. They want my decision by Nov. 15. The second program has an APPLICATION deadline of Dec. 6 and I have not submitted the application yet (because I have to take the GRE in the meantime, not required for the first one). So, I don't even expect an offer from the second program before I supposedly have to decide yes or no on the first program. Obviously, I want to be able to compare the offers and have been planning on that for the past 6 months of this whole application process. Has anyone experienced anything similar? My plan at the moment is to explain the situation to the first program and see if there is the possibility of extending their deadline. Does this seem advisable? What about accepting the first offer and then switching if the second program has an outlandishly better offer, obviously being very upfront about the possibility with the first program? Does this ever happen? Any advice navigating this strange situation would be helpful...

Hello all, I've got one month before the GRE and a need to relearn and drill math fundamentals for the quant. section, badly. Like, what do I do with square roots again?? Currently, I have the official ETS guide and Manhattan vocab flashcards, but need more basic explanations of quantitative concepts. Also, having someone else tell me what to study and when is helpful (like the Magoosh study plans). Magoosh is very appealing to me but at $100 it would exponentially increase (ha!) what I'm investing in the GRE already. Any similarly high quality alternatives out there that I'm ignoring? Guess I could go for $80 for just the math, but maybe that is silly. Reasonable or no, I'm not concerned about the verbal section. I'm only applying to one program and need a good score but am not really concerned about being ELITE as far as the GRE is concerned. Tips, advice, what math resources are the best?
