And your verbal is great lol

Really? I just realized that I actually remember seeing 150 and 151 as 50%, I also think you're fine, don't stress it, it could have been worse, you could have had my scores lol

St. John's University

If you can find a date after finals and 15 business days before the first deadline for grad school and are able to study before the GRE then why not.. but your scores are at the 50% so you're okay, mine are far below lol

Looking to say in NY/NJ.. GPA is 3.7 right now, hopefully 3.8/3.9 my graduating semester.. Work for early intervention and volunteer in an Aphasia group once a month, also named to the deans list and am in SLP honors society, hopefully that helps!

Thank you everyone! Maybe I'll try Magoosh, I felt that my Princeton Review book in one night of studying a few words did help, because those words were on the test, but definitely need more assistance! Thanks all for your recommendations!

Arggg I had a feeling that may be the case! I've honestly had no time to even figure out when to take it or to even study, my stupidity for not taking it this summer. Thanks for the heads up though, I have my list of schools and the deadlines and I actually just looked them over, in my list only Kean has the Jan 15 deadline, and the rest are early to mid Feb. So hopefully my second set of scores reach Kean in time and if not I'll have to inform them. Thanks for mentioning that though!

Yeah definitely wasn't but I had no other choice unfortunately, one grad school has a deadline of Dec 1st so I needed to take it unprepared. I figured that I should take it again, but was up in the air on how much studying can truly impact my grades. (Many people have told me oh don't worry about the GRE no one does good and it's pointless to study because there is no true way to studying) though that wasn't my reason for not studying, just didn't have any time! Thanks for the reassurance!

Hey everyone, so I posted earlier for some wise words of wisdom when taking the GRE. After hours of what felt like days, I see 145, 145. I know that that is below average, however, I only took 2 practice exams and looked over a few vocabulary words, all last night, prior to that I did not study anything associated with the GRE. My question is, should I retake the GRE again next month, after finals, this way I can actually study.. or do you guys think it doesn't matter, that I'll probably score the same? Thanks in advance! =)

Thanks so much that was extremely helpful, I appreciate it a lot!

Thanks for that, I didn't know you get the same penalty, haha yes I know! I didn't do so bad on the practice test. Had to schedule it last minute for a grad school that has an early deadline, and with 6 classes no time ugh lol! But thanks for the info!

I'm taking it today! Lol at least I got that checked off, definitely slept well, shockingly

Lol! So nervous, definitely should have studied more.. anything I should keep in mind?

Agreed, though don't forget they also look at your major GPA!

As long as you never dropped below a 2.0 you are fine, most colleges if not all, will put you on academic probation if you have below a 2.0

I can tell you this much, SJU is VERY competitive, I go there for ungrad and I've been told that they barely accept anyone from SJU undergrad into their grad programs, these schools only have room for a limited amount of students, my GPA is a 3.7 and I don't even think I can get accepted. I'm taking my GRE tomorrow, and have yet to study! Ugh, hopefully we can all get accepted, but I would recommend looking into schools that are not so competitive and maybe go over your application, maybe you can strengthen your personal essays, maybe you need to ask different professors for your LR, take those into consideration when applying to other schools!

Thanks so much! I'll try that on Chrome hopefully it works for me!

Hey everyone, so I'm currently getting into the process of applying to schools, and my GRE is Tuesday, YIKES, wish me luck! Anyway, almost all of the colleges are asking for uploaded unofficial.. AND I don't know how to upload that ugh lol.. Do you guys think it's okay if I use my MAC screenshot option and save the files as a PDF? Also my unofficial doesn't have my name on it, found that a little weird but I'm assuming it's normal? If anyone has any other suggestions on how to upload the documents please let me know! Thanks! (=

Hey, I think your problem is that you are substituting the which is a fricative with another fricative, maybe you should change your examples to using [t] instead of [th], if you do that, it would be stopping

That definitely helps, thanks so much I appreciate it! As long as I know that others didn't do as well on their GRE's have gotten accepted to schools in NY lol. Thanks again!

Hey, I just started my job as an early intervention sub/after school teacher for children with special needs. I work for a private school that is funded by the board of Ed. Maybe you can also look into EI schools!

Hey guys, I've been posting on everyone's thread writing the same thing ... sorry about that! I'm new to this and just getting the hang of it. I was wondering if anyone has heard from others or knows first hand if GRE scores are extremely important? I have a 3.7 overall GPA and a 3.75 in SLP, I also work as an Early Intervention pre-k teacher, and my letters of recommendation will be strong. However, I am afraid that my GRE scores will not be very strong, and I'm extremely nervous if that plays a major role in acceptance. I live in NY so I'd like to stay within the NY and NJ region. I was just wondering if someone has any insight on this? And any tips for the GRE and applying to grad schools. Thanks so much!

I found it! Lol thanks so much..amateur =/

Hey, no each grad school requires different types of LR's. Some want the professor to electronically submit them, others want them in a sealed envelope with the professors signatures across the seal. From my experience all schools have different formats for the letters of rec. you can see them once you start the application process, also, it is said you should waive your rights to viewing what your professors wrote about you!

Really? I couldn't find that anywhere, maybe my brain is just too fried today lol. Honestly all I've done is bought the book, I'm taking 6 classes along with work I've barely had time to open it =( hopefully late nights of studying will help me
