ilikecheesecake Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Ok, so I made a pretty stupid stupid mistake. I self-reported my own GRE score wrong. LOL. *crycrycry* I got a 4.5 in Analytical, so 80th percentile, but for some stupid stupid reason, I thought I got a 4.0. So on my application, I reported I had a 4.0 score with 80th percentile. *dies of shame* It wasn't until someone mentioned they got a 4.0 that was 56th percentile that I realized I didn't even know my own scores properly. There's not much I can do about it now except pray to the Gods for mercy. I just hope it won't significantly impact my application :'(. Thank God I did not put "great attention to detail" in my CV/PSE.
iphi Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 It really doesn't matter that much at all. Did you also send them your scores or was every part of the app self-report?
ilikecheesecake Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 haha thanks makes me feel better. Yes, I sent them ETS score reports as well! I hope they look at that first and only glance/skip at the self-reported scores lololol XD. The committee has probably seen enough GRE scores to know that 4.0 is not 80th percentile, so I hope they don't think I'm too much of a careless idiot for making such a stupid blunder. XD Oh well, at least I learned something from this. Won't be making this stupid mistake again... if I do, mark my words, I'll have my GRE scores tattooed to my forehead.
ZebraFinch Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I feel you. I self-reported one score and then ETS changed my scores online (the number, percentage is the same). Woo! I think the ETS reports should be enough. Anyone can make a typo.
