Veralist

Reposting this here mainly because I'm going insane "Hey everyone, first time poster. A little bit about me, I'm applying for a dual degree at my local university for an M.A. in Economics and an M.S. in global policy. The program I'm aiming for isn't even like Top 100, but I know the economics department very well. My GPA is a 3.2 and I raised incrementally the more I completed degree. I never failed a class and my lowest grade was a C. I eventually started getting more As than Bs. I have a lot of research experience, both solo and under a professor. Im currently an undergrad research assistant and I had an unrelated publications pertaining to some first amendment case law. I also have noted my software skills. I know how to use LaTeX, EViews, R, MATLAB, and Filemaker Pro very well and I've gotten some competitive merit scholarships. As I said before the department knows me very well and I have three letters from people who said that they wrote very positive letters (my own words). I elected not to see them and my adviser sent me an email letter saying he sent it and he looked forward to hearing about my success in college. The thing is, I'm a very controlling person and I usually want to know what is going on with my application. I haven't pestered the committee or anything because I know that is wrong, but I get heavy anxiety not knowing how I measure up. I took my GRE and on the verbal I landed in the 71% percentile, quant was 40%, and my analytical was 93%. I'm literally all over the place. Because of my verbal and analytical Im pretty sure I got into the global program because it isn't really math intensive but im still scared about my econ letter. I have everything going for me to get in besides my low quant score, and everyone says I will get in, but is it true? Id be okay with not getting funding for my first year because once I get in I plan do to very well which would hopefully put me in the pool of applicants for it. I just really want to know how my application looks in the grand scheme of things, taking into account that Im not currently aiming for a high ranked program."
