  1. Very stressed. Problem is the next GRE I take will be the new one and so I wont even know what my scores are until Nov. 1. A lot of my apps are due before then.
  2. Hi All, I took GRE General this past weekend and scored a 730 Q. I am a mathematics major at a top 50 university with a 3.9, and typically the highest grade in each math class at my school. I am currently doing research at UCLA in applied and computational mathematics and I have been a tutor for calculus throughout all of my undergrad. What gives with the score? I got 780-800 on all practice tests and must have royally screwed myself on this past test because I can't even apply to the Top 20 Programs I was interested in for Masters Financial Engineering now. I want to retake the test (obviously), but has anyone else on here had a similar experience? I feel as though four years of hard work have been completely washed out by 45 minutes of basic algebraic computation. Any advice? Do I still have a shot at GOOD grad program for MFE? -GJ
  3. Hi Everyone, I am writing because I am applying to graduate school this coming fall. I am looking for honest feedback as to my position as a prospective Ph.D. student in Engineering. I am a mathematics major at a top 50 university with a 3.8 GPA overall (only two B+ in Complex Analysis and Probability) 790 Quant GRE (Math GRE not received), and a summer REU and UCLA in Applied and Computational Mathematics. However, I have only taken Mechanics and Electromagnetism and therefore I feel I am at a HUGE disadvantage when it comes to engineering graduate school. Despite having taken almost every mathematics course in the curriculum I am finding that I do not have many prerequisites for engineering programs. My research advisor feels I would be a qualified candidate for UCLA, UCSD, and USC applied math Ph.D. programs, but I am more interested in pursuing engineering. Does my coursework essentially impede acceptance into a decent Ph.D engineering program?
