  1. Thanks all. I know I can get the GRE score up. I really took the practice one to get a feel for what the test looks like. I knew next to nothing about it. I did not review any questions or give my all on the Math portion. I just wanted to look for strengths and weaknesses. Now I'll study. I have a long time to prepare. I'm OK with the 87th percentile on the verbal. I'm sure I can get above the 90th with a little bit of time. Math will take some work, but i'm willing to do it. Moneywise, I'm OK so far as the VA is taking care of it. Of course that will change at the Grad level.
  2. That's for the encouragement. I just took a 2 1/2 hour prctice GRE from the Princeton review. I don't know how accurate they are . I got a 161 verbal and a 138 math. I know that math is my achilles heel, but I have time to get that up. Well you may see me here a lot as I prepare, prepare ,prepare.
  3. I am an undergrad history student at UCF. I am about to start my Junior year, with a 3.88 GPA. Right now I test at B1 level in Italian, German and French. I could probably get my Spanish up there pretty quickly too. Most language studies I have done on my own, however, I took French through the intermediate level ln in college. I just love languages. My main historical interest is in Eastern Europe during the Communist era, with a deep interest in the GDR. The thing is, I'm old. I am retired from the military with a pension and I'm 45. I don't even know if I can get into a grad program at my age. I mean, I know it's done, but I believe it's rare. I am not concerned with making a lot of money one day. I have a good pension and medical care for life. I am more interested in research than teaching, but I would be willing to teach teach. I do know what sort of life and pay adjunct teaching would bring, but at my age and with an income, it's not as big of a deal. This would be about love, not money. I fear that I don't even have a shot at this, at my age and with a school like UCF. I am willing to relocate obviously and even Europe is an option.
