Sorry, this reads like a homework assignment, and we are not here to help you cheat. If this is not what it is, please explain.

Derpster0 got a reaction from charlemagne88 in Going from a good to a great GRE score?
There's no need to try to improve beyond 164V and 158Q. Maybe you could benefit from getting above 160Q if you plan on going into a field that uses a lot of math, but 164v/158q is not "just good." I'm pretty sure that's almost 90th percentile for both tests..

Jesus, dude.. We live in an old folks' world these days. Everyone who is anyone is old as hell, from politics to academia. You should do something about that massive chip on your shoulder/all that insecurity of yours.

Derpster0 reacted to MD guy in Don't take on debt
Depends on the school. Berkeley has lots of TAships available but apparently they're competitive. Same with Michigan. I think in general the larger the school's undergrad college, the more opportunities there are going to be, but competition is always a problem. Add in picky professors and scheduling issues, I wouldn't bank on getting an assistantship for financial aid, but it's certainly available and possible.
Also it's almost impossible to not take on any debt unless 1) you go to WWS or 2) have family money to pay. The point is to get as little as possible and be reasonable with expectations, as well as keeping an open mind for less high reputation schools that might give more money.

Have you looked into Penn State? They have been doing distance learning for a long time.
