  4. Official GRE scores: 96th percentile on the verbal, 56th percentile on the math, 87th percentile on the writing. Not bad.

      I totally know what you mean, although I'll add this observation: I got a 43rd percentile score on the subject test and all the schools where I was accepted (save for SUNY Buffalo American Studies) required it. It's sort of a ridiculous rite of passage, but I would reconsider taking it. I would recommend paying for it, but not studying for it (except maybe basic literary terms, stanza and verse forms, etc.). Studying for that is a total waste of time.

      Nice work, TE! Your Verbal is amazing (same as mine, only you're an undergrad so it is highly exceptional in your case). Your writing is good, although nobody cares about that score, so whatevs. Good luck on the subject!

  6. Conferences are so weird. Fun, but so so weird.

      I've been to two; one was totally and completely the weirdest thing ever and the other was absolutely enthralling. Guess those are the two polar options.
