Since some people had asked, I must post about it. I did ok on my GRE General test. I know some people have done better than I did, heck, there are a lot of people who have done better than I have. But among my school friends, I am the champion of the test and have won glory and praise. Verdict? V: 460 Q: 780.
Not half bad, I'd say. I wish I did better on the verbal, but I'm ok with my scores. There really isn't much I can do about them now. If they are not good enough to get me into a Ph.D. program then I guess I will just have to settle for a Masters program for the time being, study words like crazy and then retake the test with a masters degree.
I have been talking to my professors a lot about my apprehension in terms of the whole graduate application process. Some schools really seem to stick it to the little guy and give no slack whatsoever, having really high cut-offs and what not. But, do I really want to go to a school like that anyways? I have, relative, special circumstance that makes me special (not in the short bus kind of way) and may help me in terms of admissions. I am a capable being and have a lot of drive and love mathematics. Doesn't that sound like an ideal applicant to you?
If that doesn't shine in my application than I fear I will not get in and I'll be condemned to teach high school mathematics instead. Woe is me for my self-esteem is low about this (*hint* *hint*, be nice about my scores no matter how low you think they are).
Must work on topology for now, that will be taking up my time for a while. But I will be blogging more than before considering that I have cut my hours from work so I can do my homework for topology and keep my sanity (work sucks more than usual right now, so that's not good...).
Well, bye for now. - Vanes.
