I highly encourage plotting the acceptance dates for your schools based on the results database. It will help calm your nerves if you know you are way out of the "window" for when people normally start hearing back.
For example. Political Science Ph.D. results @ UF have an average admission notice of the 24th of february with a standard deviation of 7 days. So I am most likely to find out sometime between the 17th of February and the 3rd of March.
Today is the 1 month mark since deadlines. I am going absolutely crazy. I have my gmail filtered to send me a text when anything with the word application comes to my inbox.
So far I have rage subscribed from:
Dell University (marketing spam essentially)
Alienware Marketing emails
1 and 1 internet
SEVERAL extra curricular list servs
music blogs
and a few others.
The GRE itself is fairly useless, but don't lose sight of what it measures.
Vocabulary is a pretty good proxy for general intelligence. However, GRE scores are not necessarily correlated with graduate school success. I believe that high GRE scores are a signal of high intelligence, while low GRE scores do not necessarily mean low intelligence.
