Poor Hanged Fool, I find your response pretty uhm....interesting. Mostly annoying, but also interesting. Though the whole, "really humble person who mistrusts her own successes" may seem a little much to some she could be entirely genuine in it and I'd like to assume that instead of telling her to adjust her wording so that you like it better. Is she supposed to try to be entirely objective and sound like a computer program? Because you start out by complaining about her stating her modesty and then continue on to just make yourself sound like a tool. Even though you supposedly meant your suggestion to her in the most innocent and helpful way, if we're using your "assume the person has alternative motives and is actually a douche bag" method then well, you shouldn't have written that. I mostly like that you went on about how you barely studied and got such and such scores (while giving excuses for why you did so poorly, which you should know wasn't even poorly), basically proving how much you lack humility. I don't honestly give a shit if you're humble or not but just don't be mean to other people (because yes, you do seem pretty rude, and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, like Paixe, for example) and then go on about how you got decent scores and barely prepared, which is basically going to make people who did that well or not as well after studying feel crappy. Anyway, Paixe, yes, that is a very good Verbal score. The Quantitative probably won't be nearly as high percentage-wise but if you're going into an English program you probably don't need to worry about it cause it still isn't bad. It's really hard to say how the revised scores will compare to the old scores because even ETS doesn't really know how things will work out yet, hence why we won't get our scores until November (yeah, sucks waiting, but it was nice getting 80 dollars off haha). Plus with the old test the Quantitative and Verbal don't match up well as far as what they equal for percentages. Like a 720 was about 75th percentile for Q when I took it three years ago but 580 was about 75th too but for Verbal, so it's impossible to know how that will change with the revised test, especially since it's going to be on an entirely different scale anyway. Not matter how it works out it seems like you got scores that will work well for you, congrats! :-)
