I agree with SarahL that the safety schools are not like those for high-school student applying to college. But what if someone who really wants to go to grad school right after college? Would go to a mediocre program and get the master degree better, or work for a while and come back to grad school better? Seems to me that maintaining the momentum for studying is more preferable.

Agreed with greeendiplomat. Although GRE is only one of the five criteria, it is still important to do well on it. Why not put some effort to get a plus on our applications? Good luck to everyone!

Hey DrFaustus666, Congrats on your high quant score! I think you can present V 800, Q 760 to grad schools as well. What do you mean by "not worth it"? Not worth it taking the test twice? I am taking mine on July 19th, and is a bit nervous if I need to take it again. Btw, the "three mexicans" profile pic looks good!

Hi PC-M, I am alos in the Fall 2012 pool (although I haven't started my SOP). Do you wanna open up a new post for all the applicants to MPA of 2012?
