Brazilian guy, you are completly right. A fu.cking test doesn't reflect how smart you are or what drives you to succeed in graduate school. My GPA is really good (3.85), I have great research experience, I entered in a field that goes beyond my bachelor degree (psychology). I was always a stellar student, and although many professors told me that I would not be able to make research at a molecular level, I was able to work with one of the most prestigious scientist of Mexico, and we are even about to publish a paper.
I have an excellent CV, and I worked extremelly hard for the GRE, but I don't know what happened to me. I feel that a simpe test has destroyed my entire career. I can't retake the exam because I don't have time and because I don't have more money. I spent all my savings.
Maya6625 got a reaction from PhDEducation in Extremely low GRE, I am devastated, I am even crying, should I give up my application?
