@HopOnMyCrates My scores are from an official test. I could afford the test (tho I'd naturally prefer not to spend $200 when i don't have to). My bigger concern is the time that would have to go into studying again to raise my score. I think my writing sample needs a good deal of work and am currently trying to write a new one with less ambitious focus. I did get into Stony Brook and BC's Masters programs (I couldn't afford it so I decided to apply again next year and to apply to funded masters programs too), but I'm not sure if that means anything. So, yea, basically I'm just trying to decide what to prioritize.
