vocabulary.com lets users make lists of words they want to "learn" and will quiz you on them...not quite flashcards but helpful nonetheless.

freerice- help starving people while studying! but not all the words are GRE type words.

when are you going to take the GRE?

November 15. You?

Don't worry,you still have time to prepare.I haven't register for the revised test yet,I hope to take it by early december.but I took the old test in the last summer.

I convert them into PDF using Adobe Acrobat (the full program, not the free reader). Or, depending on your scanner, you can directly scan them as PDF! This school I'm applying to strictly states they need them either pdf or doc. I chose pdf because doc seemed too messy

Thanks,that's very helpful.

ur welcome

I know exactly how you feel, ;P.

Yep, yep. I had a terrifying nightmare about missing the literature subject test last night. Awful.

hmmm... red flag?

Not necessarily red flag...they could be too busy to respond to individual emails from prospective students.

i agree with newms. i wouldn't read too much into it. it's the start of a new semester. professors are busy, and if this one is famous, he/she is probably even busier than most.

aside from the obvious "n+1 years of experience are better n", quitting by itself shouldn't hurt you if your leave on good terms.

That's the spirit.

Hang in there!

thanks all for your support!

Good to know!

oh it's just application season stress + some personal relationship stress. I hope both work out this time!

Haha, it all happens at once doesn't it? I understand! Rooting for you!

Thanks

Me too! :-)

in terms of safety, cost, and acceptance of diversity. Given all programs in those cities are equally good fits.

every city has safer an less safe parts, and stipends are often based on cost of living. I don't think it makes sense to choose schools to apply to based on these criteria. in any case, you can use this to look up cost of living in cities with programs that interest you: http://www.bestplaces.net/col/ Someone also shared a link to crime data by address, but i don't remember what it was.

That's the spirit:)

woot! DO IT!

thanks for the encouragement

Well, you will have to stand on your own someday. I am sure if you are planning to go to grad school they raised you well and you will not get into trouble willingly. Other than that there is skype (you can promise to skype every day) cell phones with what they can reach you any time etc.. Usually good universities have their own security too. I am not sure what a nearby uncle could do more to protect you...

Also I would probably try to mix their universities with yours. That way when you get in and actually there is a choice to be made you can evaluate choices on their own merit. for instance if you can get them to visit the school. My parents got so much more relaxed when they saw that I am in a "good place."

Thank you so much for your support. It really means so much to me. I'll try my best!

love my iphone too! i live overseas & thanks to it ive been able to keep in touch with my family as if we were only a city apart. i cant praise it enough.

Thanks iPhoners! Several of my friends outside the forum also recommended the iPhone. Each seems to have their +s and -s. This makes me even more indecisive. Which one?

android. better yet, android on evo 3d - check it out.
