coggiedoggie got a reaction from Crucial BBQ in Out of curiosity, how old is everyone who plans to pursue a Masters?
I was 39 when I started my MA.

coggiedoggie reacted to TheMercySeat in Low quant GRE: successes and failures
:raises hand meekly:
I had to literally reteach myself everything.
Everything.
I work in research. I get paid to calculate Cohen's d, eta squared, and Bayesian probabilities by hand. I use R and SPSS to do everything else from CFAs and binary logistic regressions to ANOVAs.
I haven't had a math class with exception to stat since... 2008.
I don't know wtf the square root of -54 divided by 72 to the 5th exponet plus Z cubed is.
Sorry everybody.

coggiedoggie got a reaction from dragonage in Low quant GRE: successes and failures
I have a combined 313 (sub-50th percentile quant) GRE score. I am currently in a MA program in which I have excelled in my stats courses, was a TA for undergrad stats, and currently teach an SPSS lab. I have two poster presentations (1 national, 1 regional) and thought my performance in a graduate program along with strong LORs would offset my low quant score. However, a POI said that my quant score keeps me from being a top candidate. Another POI simply said said I wasn't on the short list. I have not received any official rejections, but I haven't been invited for campus interviews either.
My hope now is that I get a phone call on April 16th.
