As many know I want to go into to counseling and the easiest way to do that is to get into grad school and earn a Master's in that field. So today I took a step toward realizing that goal, I took the GRE. However the question is did I REALLY take a step toward it? Thanks to modern technology I was able to take a computer based test which means that the verbal and quantitative portions were instantly scored and given (the analytical writing section still has to be reviewed and graded). I did just about as well as I did on my SATs which I am afraid isn't going to be good enough. I scored 570 verbal, and 600 quantitative. Not horrible, but not what I was hoping for.
I was counting on my GRE to held make up for; let us say, a less than perfect GPA. A GPA I am working hard to improve, but could prove too little to late. Now I haven't given up hope, I will still apply because you never know what might happen.
I feel like I am smarter than what my test scores say but maybe I just have to resign myself to mediocrity. Maybe I just got unlucky with the questions, maybe I just wasn't prepared. There are many possible reasons for scoring how I did, but for now I will just have to see what happens.

I am so sorry you didn't do as well as you had hoped. Maybe your writing grade will help pull it up. Keep working hard and I am sure it will all work out in the end. Hopefully the grad school will see how hard you have been trying to improve and take that into account when trying to decide who to accept into their program. I love you!
