Okay, I'm happy now. Happy as a clam. Talked to my advisor for an hour and a half and she said that though my GPA is mediocre, it wasn't as if I would get rejected because of just that and that my verbal GRE score was phenomenal and, even more exciting, my quantitative score was respectable (respectable quantitative means more to me than ( Read more... )
