assess me?

[goukaku suru you ni]

what do you think of my credentials:

-Masters in a top univ in japan with about 3.8/4 GPA

-1 year exchange at another premiere univ in Japan during my uni

-average grades back in a top school back in the philippines

my ielts results are not very spectacular. my total score's 8, but i don't know why i got only 6.5 for writing.

im applying to yale, univ of brit columbia, wustl, cornell. these are schools which offer support for both asian migration studies and visual anthropology. basically, i am an aspiring visual anthropologist.

my problem now is my GRE. i am about to take it and i think my math scores will be terrible.

any tips? any comments on the schools i have chosen?

Don't stress too much about the GRE. While a lot of the top schools do have GRE floors, usually the programs are significantly more concerned with one score or the other--in your case, they'll probably weigh the verbal heavier than the math. Pretty much all schools, and especially humanities programs, are more concerned with your writing/sop/lors than the quantitative stuff.
