Thank you for the advice. I have heard that GPA is one of a factor of things taken into account when deciding for admissions. This is giving me hope as I know my GPA is not the strongest. I have two professors that will give me letters of recommendation and I may have my employer for my third one. I’m hoping that my gpa year can add additional research and presentations under my belt. Good luck with your applications!
I think that getting a tutor of some sort really helps. In regards to the writing, tutors who are trained to tutor the GRE will be able to give you strategies that help you better your writing. I personally used the vocabulary flashcards for the verbal section but I don't find them helpful, so I suggest you create a "vocab notebook" of words that you come across while taking practice tests and defining and putting them into sentences. I took the test after the flashcards and again after the notebook and I did much better on the GRE when I used the notebook. In regards to math, I feel like it's half knowledge and half strategy, so having a tutor help you with strategies will really help you! I hope this helps!
