Report from the Trenches

[caitri]

GRE scores:

Verbal 570
Quant. 410
Analytical writing--supposed to hear in two weeks.

Hmm. This was lower than I was expecting, on the other hand, I don't know my grade for 1/3 of the darn thing. So I'm emailing around for thoughts.

And then I'm gonna watch Glee. And/or nap.

ETA: It was a nap and it was awesome. And I want to seriously thank everyone who posted or emailed with encouragement--I feel way better about my scores now! I LOVE YOU ALL SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, the average verbal score for 2004-2008 was around 460. (your quantative probably won't matter because lit departments could care less about your ability to do math. NO lit professors even understand the general concept of math and why people would test for it. this is like a general rule. ;-) )

AND, the average verbal score for Columbia during those years was 530. (according to internet sources). so it seems you did pretty darn good on the verbal, which for literature, is the only part that counts :D
