Verbal GREs should be 80%, and the analytic score 4.5, to be assured of clearing minimal thresholds in every discipline but Economics. In Sociology, the minimum quantitative GRE is 65% if you are qualitatively oriented, 70% if you are doing simple quantitative analysis, and 80% if you propose anything that is quantitatively ambitious.
我的毕业论文改编。其实也挺麻烦的,一是我的毕业论文写的太长了,要压缩到一篇double space 30页的英文比较累。二是我一直觉得我是优秀毕业论文所以应该至少写的还不错改的话不用太费劲,结果回头看的时候发现写的真的是太烂了,很多地方都没想清楚也没问明白,而再去做补充研究已经不现实了。最后,我把重写WS的任务放在了申请的最后,时间比较短而且已经有点“一鼓作气再而衰三而竭”的意思了,因此有点心不在焉的。申请12月1日DDL的Rutgers的时候还没搞出来,直接把上次申请的WS交上去了(结果就悲剧了)。后来找P老师看了好几次,然后又找了几个美国朋友看了一下语法就交上去了……所以我应该算是一个反面例子。推荐西北师姐的帖子(地址)
