@NinjaMermaid/ Thanks you so much! Well Im really worried because Im only applying two schools that are of big names: Cornell and Columbia. I have worked in architecture firms that are quite big; 3 years experience in total and have recommendation letters from a prof that is doing well in the US. Other then that I am just really hoping my portfolio and statement of purpose would do well for them. My GPA is just 3.0/4.0 in US system but I did go to a good school in Canada.... but really I don't think the US ppl know or care about Canadians and their schools... YOU are totally right though, I'll try and see! that's the only i'll ever know! Thanks for reminding me... I am still freaking out but I just needed someone to tell me that.

Oh my... I took the GRE for the first time before deadline and there is no time to actually retake it. I am so frustrated as I scored v= 143, q=148. I had two weeks to study with KAPLAN the GRE prep and it really didn't help on the QUANT section I think... I knew Verbal wouldn't be good because there was no way I could have ever memorized all those vocabs. I translated score to old GRE and its about 950- 1000 I don't know my WRITING score yet but I am just going to try what I can with statement letter and portfolio as I'm applying for architecture. Is anybody in the same situation? I am frustrated that I am actually thinking of giving up. I've never did so horrible on an exam. I think the timing issue just freaked me out... I think PowerPrep would've helped but the CD arrived 2 days before the test and I have mac so couldn't even run it anyhow. I hope the schools don't just cut me off before even reading my Perso statement and looking over my portfolio. I feel so worried and is trying but is thinking of falling back to Canadian grad school that I have already been accepted.... Any advice and comment... or experience story would help. Im so freaked out from this experience....

it had functions... probability, mean, mode... they typical.
