  1. Don't give up. If you give up, you'll never achieve your goals.

     

    I recommend taking some time off after completing your undergraduate degree. Try to acquire some research experience before applying to a grad program. Also, improving that GPA is a must.

  2. I would recommend a retest. A 160V is not a bad score, but your competitors may have verbal scores ≥165. Also, you may be doing some quantitative analysis (hard to believe, I know), depending on your grad program. A few days ago, I heard an NPR report from an English professor in Toronto who performed quantitative textual analyses on Agatha Christie's work to examine dementia's effect on her writing. Fascinating stuff, but it required some mathematical expertise – from an English department.

     

    Granted, I'm in the social sciences world, so I'm no expert on English programs. Good luck!

  3. I also know I had some typos in my NSF personal statement.  Whooooops.  That's what happens when you turn off spellcheck. 

    Happened to me in my Penn State personal statement. I still got a call from a POI. Honestly, I don't know how that happened.
