Situation I'm hoping to apply to PhD programs next year. I'm currently in a dual masters degree program at a top public university. When I'm finished I'll received one professional MA (public policy) and another in liberal arts. Dilemma In my professional program, professors aren't are all shy about assigning B (sometimes C) grades to students. While I'm generally doing well, I'm probably going to have a couple or more B/B+ grades on my transcript from quantitative/economics courses. Bottom line My GPA is going to be 3.8, maybe 3.6 (GASP!), by the time I'm finished with both degrees. Should I be freaking the fuck out? Are my hopes of attending a top political science PhD dashed?

yeah, I really feel like I can improve my verbal score. However, I'm nervous my quantitative score was a fluke and I would not do as well if I took it again. hrfmph!

So, in my practice tests (Barrons, Kaplan, PowerPrep) I was receiving 450-520q and 640-690v. On the actual test I received a 620q and 540v. Because I scored so much higher in the quantitative than I was expecting I'm unsure if I'll be retaking it.

This is very helpful! What would you guess UT's acceptance rate to be?
