  1. I'm really bummed. I just got my scores from the test two and a half weeks ago. 740Q(81st) 680V(94th) AND 3.5AW(20)! I did a little better than I expected in the Q/V portions, but I am still shocked at the AW. I'm paying the $55 to have it re-graded. I was expecting 5.5 plus or minus .5. I've heard the AW score is the least significant part of your application, but that's low. I've got a 3.86 gpa (4.0 in philosophy) unfortunately it's from a smaller state school (U of Central Florida). I did an honor's thesis on Leibniz, which may help; and I'm expecting really good letters. My writing sample will be a more polished portion of my thesis, and I'm only applying to programs with an emphasis on Early Modern Philosophy and a strong Leibniz scholar. But gosh, a 3.5! I really just don't understand what happened. In my Research Methods in Philosophy class, I got my first draft of my first paper handed back requiring no revisions. Other students had 2 rounds to do (professor had a reputation of being a bit of a stickler for writing). Can my letters fix this? How bad do you think it is? I'm applying to a wide range of schools, but I'll need funding. My mood has gone from Leibniz to Kierkegaard.
