Hi, I am an international student currently working on my PhD application. I am a little confused with the way we are supposed to refer to the professors we mention as potential advisors. 1 / If the person is a man, PhD: Do we have to use Mr. Brown ? Dr. Brown ? Prof. Brown ? 2 / What if it is a woman PhD: Mrs Brown? Dr. Brown ? Prof Brown ? 3 / What is he/she is an assistant professor: Mr Brown ? Dr. Brown ? Assistant Prof. Brown ? Prof Brown ? Thank you very much for your help ! Nats

Hi, I just passed the GRE and would like to apply for a PhD in History. I am aiming at the top 3 programs. My scores are: - 680 Verbal (96%) - 770 Quant (87%) - 5.0 Writing (84%) I am a little bit disappointed with my writing score, since I have often read that it was better to have 5.5 or 6 in writing. On the other hand, I am not sure I could do better if given a second chance (especially since the process looks quite arbitrary to me). So basically I have 2 questions: - to what extent would the committee take into account the fact that I am not coming from an English speaking-country ? - do you think that it is worth taking the exam again (I have a good writing sample and Statement of purpose, and a solid academic background in my home country) Many thanks for your help !
