Hmmm... a 550 V and a 570 V (took them twice), which looks kinda bad next to an 800 Q. Especially since I'm applying to Sociology programs.... I just "remembered" that I do have a publication, but I didn't put it on my application. It was published through my job, not in an academic setting, so I didn't think to put it. I'm cursing myself now. A publication on my app would have been nice...

This could be interesting I'll go first: GPA: 3.6 -- kinda low I know, but I did go to a top liberal arts school (I feel like it's kinda sketchy to say where you went so let's just say it was either Amherst, Williams, or Middlebury) GRE: 800 Q, 570 V, 5.0 (I'm really worried about my low verbal--eek!!) Reasearch experience: Received highest honors for senior thesis, served as a research assistant for a women's studies professor Research interests: Gender, sexuality, queer theory Applied to: Boston College, Yale, Santa Barbara, Berkeley, Brown, UMass-Amherst, Cornell, Maryland, SUNY-Albany, U of Michigan, U of Chicago Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
