    My advice: Contact the DGS at schools your interested in and ask if your research interests would fit.

    x2. I was shut out last year. Regardless, this year I will be presenting at three academic conferences, two on a topic related to my proposed area of graduate research. I've also been reading, writing, brainstorming ideas for conference papers/journal articles, networking, etc. Not only has this allowed me to stay active in academia despite no longer being a student, it has allowed me to revamp my CV and gain a better understanding of my research area. It has also, hopefully, made me a more attractive candidate for graduate study.

    I just took the GRE a second time and got a 65% on the verbal, after months of studying. At first, this score made me want to quit this application season out of fear that I no longer have a chance of getting into any of my prospective programs.

    After some reflection, I have decided to hang in the race. My school list is almost finalized, as is my writing sample and personal statement. So, I am just going to apply and hope that graduate programs can overlook what - in my opinion - is the least relevant indicator of future success in grad school.
