Hi All, I took GRE General this past weekend and scored a 730 Q. I am a mathematics major at a top 50 university with a 3.9, and typically the highest grade in each math class at my school. I am currently doing research at UCLA in applied and computational mathematics and I have been a tutor for calculus throughout all of my undergrad. What gives with the score? I got 780-800 on all practice tests and must have royally screwed myself on this past test because I can't even apply to the Top 20 Programs I was interested in for Masters Financial Engineering now. I want to retake the test (obviously), but has anyone else on here had a similar experience? I feel as though four years of hard work have been completely washed out by 45 minutes of basic algebraic computation. Any advice? Do I still have a shot at GOOD grad program for MFE? -GJ
