Hey everyone-
I'm another 'rejected across the board' applicant from last cycle, back for another round of abuse. For 2012 I found GradCafe just in time to miserably obsess over the results boards, so I figured this year I might as well participate! I'm an IR person, with a tentative Latin American focus.
Right now I'm trying to prioritize the things I can improve (SOP, quant. experience), while simultaneously job searching and reworking my choices of schools. Seems to be the case for most, but the GREs are obviously weighing heavily on me- seriously, why can't school's just publish their angry, invisible cut off line?
Unlike most of you, though, I've already taken it twice. While I did improve (640 Q and 670 V, then 156 Q (720) and 165 (690) V according to the new scale) I'm still not sure that's enough. For you veterans- any thoughts on a THIRD take at the GRE? Of course, then the committee may just reject me on the criteria that no sane person wants to sit through that thing 3 times...
