  1. About the LOR, I am planning to two from my professors, but I am not sure about the third one. I had an internship in an startup for a month. Maybe I will ask my them for one LOR
  2. I am applying for MS. Yes I am planning to retake my GRE for sure, the problem is I will miss the due date for fall 2015 and that's why I am thinking try to apply this time before Jan 15, even though the chance is low
  3. Computer science major in a new york state university GPA 2.87 GRE V143, Q159 Currently working in Psychology department as Research assistant Did a one month intern in a startup during the winter Program to apply: Human computer interaction U of Washington U of Baltimore Indiana University Bloomington Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis DePaul university University of Maryland UNIVERSITY OF IOWA
  4. My original plan was working for at least one year after I graduate before I apply for graduate school. but since there are only few schools I want apply I decide take a shot this year. I am assuming when I fill out the online application, I will have the option to send my professor a request for LOR, and I will do the same thing for other school's online application as well. but what if I know my chance are low and I want to apply next year as well, do I need to ask professor again ? I feel like professor will most likely forget who I am after I left school
  5. This is so inspiring. I am also a none-native speaker. I took my GRE last week and I got 142V/159Q. I only memorized about 600 words from Magoosh flashcards, obviously it's not enough. I am still in my last year of college so I don't really have time to study during the semester. College is definitely busier than a full time job. My question is did you memorized all of the words from Painless GRE app, Kaplan's flashcards and Magoosh flashcards ? Sometimes I write down the word I don't know from the practice problem. Do you think it is necessary or I should just stick with those GRE vocabulary app And how do you use Quizlet app ? Unlike magoosh flashcards, you have to enter words yourself in Quizlet, I found it is really time consuming so i give up.
  6. I am a senior computer science student. I took my GRE exam last week and it was kind bad, V142 Q159. I just started doing research last week. I am applying for Human computer interaction program I see most of the MS application are due on January. I am really busy during the semester and I don't think I have time to study GRE again until winter break. so I will most likely miss the due date by the time I take GRE again. so I am wondering if I apply next year, what should I do during this gap year except study GRE ? If I start looking for job I may end up getting a 2-year contract which I don't really want to cause I want to go to graduate school.
  7. It's my first time took this test. I know I will have to wait two week for writing score. I am wondering why I cannot see my math and verbal score on my GRE account since I already saw them after I finish the exam
  8. Undergraduate: computer science major, looking for any Human computer interaction program GRE V142, Q159 GPA 2.86 (2 semester left) currently doing research in psychology department I know my current grade is pretty bad. I am trying to improve it in my last year, and I will retake GRE during winter or after I graduate. However, there are some school stop accepting application in January such as indiana university bloomington, Should I at least try to apply those schools before due date ?
  9. This is my last year for undergraduate. First of all I don't know what exactly is a good relationship with professor. There are two professors I want to ask for LOR, I took 3 classes with both of them, and I went to their office hour a lot. (I didn't know I would ask for LOR one day, I was simply asking questions about the class) I believe they both remember my name. This is basically my relationship between these two professors, I don't know if I can consider this as a good or bad relationship, so I don't really know how should I ask them for LOR The third professor: I don't think he remember my name. I took two classes with him and they are both really hard, I can barely see him during the office hour because everyone wants to ask question. However, I did really good on one of his group project based class. My group were in the final round of his project competition. Research professor: I am start doing research this semester. During research, I am either doing experiment with myself in the lab or with a graduate student, I barely see professor. Although research experience is good for app, I just dont know how could I ask him for LOR if we barely met. The last one is my former employer. I did a summer internship in a start up. My boss was a young guy, 25ish, who just start the company about 6 months at the time. I didn't really do anything during that month, cause my boss didn't really know what to do (He is a business major and I am studying computer science). Although he offed to write LOR for me if I needed help in the future, I really have no idea what he can write for me just based on my work during on month.
  10. Practice test I have done over the past month Aug 3 Manhattan prep Q: 156 V:149 Aug 19 PowerPrep1 Q: 158 V:141 Sep 1 Magoosh Q: 155: V:140 I have been study GRE for the last three months. It seems like I can only score around 300. I am an international student. My problem is I can barely understand the multiple choice on verbal section, so I can only score 20-30%. My exam is on Sep 20, I have less than 3 weeks for improve my score. I need some advice on my study plan.
  11. I just did a practice exam on PowerPrep, and I absolutely hate it. The screen is tooooo small. My eyes are hurt after only one hour. I wondering if the real GRE exam is using the same program as PowerPrep
  12. If the question ask me to pick a side and supporting my position, also address both of the views presented, I usually like to use the first two body paragraphs discuss my position, last body paragraph for counter paragraph. Does it matter if I put my counter paragraph on the first or last paragraph ? I prefer put the counter paragraph on the first so I can supporting my position from the second body until the end.
  13. English is not my first language. I know verbal section will be my biggest enemy. When I am doing verbal section, most of time I don't understand any of the option. I literally just don't know any of those words. Especially in sentence equivalence where you need to choose two words which have the meaning. I cannot do much but guess. I know I need to study more vocabularies. That's why I've been doing this month. I study GRE vocabulary and I will write down the word that I don't know from the practice question. However I don't know if this is gonna work. I mean there are a lot of them. I still don't know any of the option in sentence equivalence.
  14. Thank you for your advice. I will start looking for human factors programs now
