hey spidey,

go ahead apply to sum univs even low rank ones and if you get admit thn study for 1st sem thr and thn transfer to sum other univ. I think this thing works. forget abt wht happened now focus in forward direction. One year is a lot of time so I suggest go ahead this yr. try biophysics and other related courses. thrs always a way. dont worry.

so cheer up and work ahead.

The low scores may be a severe obstacle to get a visa even you have an admission. However why not try. god blesses you.!!

i guess you can do this :
>> app for low-ranked and unranked univs.
>> retake GRE with enuf time for preps within 2-3 months
>> if you get a better score > app for spring 2004, else opt among th apped schools

gottcha, cheer up ??!!!!

All the best !!!!!

PS: 6 months is not a big deal n rite now, yur scores r *bad*, lemme b frank ! Think*2 bfore you act !

Hey, actually if your other credentials are relatively good, I think that you do have chances to get in for this year. You just need to apply to some safety schools just in case, but you should be able to get in. I know many people that have actually made lower scores and were admitted to decent schools.

i also had very low scores, V510 & Q490. I had only 2 weeks to prepare coz I had too gruesome a work schedule, working night and day. before that I had no idea what GRE is and is for. I dont know if I will get admitted or be given a visa. I had had taken TOEFL and got 620. I dont know if TOEFL can make up for a low GRE score, in a small part, in anyway. please help me now. I am in dire straits and badly neer your help and info. thanks a million. I am planning to to M.Sc in Economics
