  1. Profile : 165 V, 148 Q 3.9 Undergrad GPA 1 research published article in law journal fluent in Arabic & English Interested in studying Middle Eastern politics/Islam Any advice on where to apply? I'm hoping to apply to a mix of schools--but my quant score is worrying me. Help! Thank you!
  2. Is there anything a student can do after they are waitlisted? Should they submit more materials?
  3. Hey guys, What suggestions would you have for determining if a program would consider an applicant a strong fit? Also, would you recommend calling or emailing departments? Thank you!
  4. Hey guys, before I get too excited, did any of you guys get scores that were similar or lower than mine?
  5. Thank you both so much. I have some hope now. Will do. <3
  6. Hello folks, Long story short: I've taken the GRE twice and both times did not get great scores: 1st time: 157 Verbal, 140Q, 4.5 Writing 2nd time: 154 Verbal, 144 Q, 5.3 Writing I did running start so I have 2 college GPAs (3.78 running start/3.96 undergrad), I have 1 published research article in a sociolegal journal (primary author), presented at several academic conferences, and I can get strong LORs. so I'm in a bit of a bind because I dont know if I should retake the GRE again (not sure if I can bring up my scores since I studied for them in the past when I took my exams), I know we have the option of only sending recent scores to schools but I still dont know if I should bother applying to any programs. I want to study religion and politics and do comparative work. Any suggestions of a) whether I should retake my GRE's/apply and programs I should look into? Thank you!!!
  7. Thanks *sigh* Thats actually somewhat comforting.
  8. Oh--I heard that sometimes schools contact applicants that they are interested in and schedule mini interviews with them or send them some sort of email....thats all. Just wondering if silence means rejection.
  9. Thanks for the response ! Last question I promise: if an applicant does not get contacted by their program prior to receiving their decision should they assume they've been rejected?
  10. Thanks for the input. Will do. a few more quick questions: 1) do the admissions committees really review all components of every application? Or do they first weed folks out based on GPA/GRE then start reading the applications? 2) how important is it to introduce yourself to faculty prior to applying? 3) if you get rejected from a school, should you even try to re-apply the following round? IE would a change in GRE scores really make that large of an impact on admission decisions? Sorry for the many questions--new to this whole process. Thank you!
  11. Hello, New member here, I'm going through the waiting process for admission decisions and I've already been rejected from 2 programs. And I'm worried its my GREs. Here is my profile: 1. Journal article based on original researched published with Law journal 2. 3.96 GPA 3. VERY strong LOR's 4. Was awarded 11 major awards at my undergrad institute for leadership etc 5. BUT low GRE's despite my best efforts: 154 verbal, 144 math, 5.3 writing Any advice on what I can do to improve my applications for the future?
