Me too, BU Health Policy and Management. Did you hear anything about finaid?

Hi guys, Those of you who have taken the new GRE will know that there are some hard quantitative questions in the verbal section. See below for an example of this type from the ETS guide. Do you know which other study guides have lots of practice questions for this type? The Barron Prep course only have the traditional questions which totally threw me off when I got a really hard quantitative question like this when I took the GRE last Sep. Thanks heaps! And for those who have not taken GRE, beware of this type of question! I'd say if you're not prepared, skip it. It took way too much of my time.

thanks for all the thoughts guys! Seems like everything in life luck needs to meet efforts . That piece about applying dating technique sounds legit . But say if I want to maximize my chance, is there such a thing like "Boston students are more laid back than Washington" or "development students are more easy-going than public policy"? I know this is a sweeping over-generalization but what do you think? (and I'm not choosing school based entirely on this but just wondering )

So I read this article on the NYT about how hard it is to make friends when we grow older: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/fashion/the-challenge-of-making-friends-as-an-adult.html?pagewanted=all It is all so true my closest friends are still the ones from my college and high school, even after 3 years of working. So what is the chance of making good friends in grad school? Does it resemble work environment or college more? I'm not in America now but may live in America for quite sometime in the future so that's why I kind of want to go to grad school to gain some friends (secondary reason of course) instead of going straight to work as I know the chance of making friends in work place is pretty slim. Is this too naive coz people in grad school will be more career-minded and it is nowhere like college with all the conditions for making close friends: proximity; repeated, unplanned interactions?

Hi guys, since I am quite free, I just finished consolidating all AW issue topics into major themes and sub-themes eg. Education/Job vs Interest . Thought I should share. Hope it helps! http://greessays.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/consolidated-pool-of-issue-topics/
