Hi all, I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster. I am currently going through the admissions process (waiting on 5, rejected from 2), and have realized that I was probably too ambitious with my program choices (Columbia, Stanford, Yale, Georgetown, MIT, Harvard, and Princeton) considering my GRE scores (164v 144q 5.0AW). Although my quant scores is very low, I have one year of work experience in a well-known policy institute, have three publications, and was awarded a governmental grant to conduct independent research. I was kind of hoping that my work experience/LORs would compensate for my extremely weak quant scores, but I now believe I will probably miss out on this cycle and have to really work to boost my scores for next year I have already been rejected from Stanford and Princeton, how likely is it that any of the other programs will give me a look-in considering my scores? Many thanks!
