Well, the essays felt strong, but who knows. I just feel like I'm losing my mind, because it doesn't seem possible. I am petrified that in 2 weeks I'll get in the mail scores that contradict this. I tried calling their score service, willing to pay the $12 or so for piece of mind, but my scores are unavailable. I think I have to wait a week. An impossibly long time to welter in the madness of not knowing. Damn them!
As for programs, I'm unsure. I majored in Chinese at Georgetown University, but my GPA was ~3.3, so I wasn't planning on applying to anywhere too selective... Maybe UNC for classics (After I do Post-Bac for more Latin and Greek) or Duke for East Asian studies.
Which brings up another point. I've seen in these threads people who have great credentials, but who got a bad GRE score, and then had it explained that a bad GRE score can be eclipsed by other good. I don't have a stella GPA, for instance, so would a 1600 GRE score mitigate this?
