Do I have a chance at making it to graduate school?

[Kuciwalker]

Thanks, Kuci.

You found me out

Good luck aneeshm. You seem like a bright guy to me, for what it's worth. I don't know anything about top US schools. Which engineering discipline are you in?

Thanks.

I'm doing my computer engineering right now.

So you cheated/studied far too long?

So you cheated/studied far too long?

Must have. There's no way a person can be naturally smart enough to ace the verbal and yet manage not to ace the analytical writing. That's the easiest part of the GRE.

1) It's a subjective measure, not an objective one the way it was when KH took it.
2) I'm not a native speaker.
3) 6 and 5.5 are in the same score bracket.

I don't get it. Why all the skepticism?

I really didn't study for the GRE and still aced the analytical writing section. It's pretty obvious what sections you crammed for/cheated on.

Given that I'm not a native speaker of the English language, I consider a 5.5/6 score satisfactory, given that they're in the same bracket.

Secondly, how can someone "cram" for a section? I didn't see anything I could have crammed for even had I wanted to. How does one "cram" mathematics? Or vocabulary? Or grammar?

If it helps you keep up your delusions of self-worth, feel free to believe that my score was obtained through whatever means. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I think they're just jealous
