Grad school update

FSU has denied my appeal of their decision to reject my work experience as insufficient. This means it's on me to take, and do well on, the GRE or GMAT sometime during my first semester. The tentative date for this is Thursday, August 23, and it's going to be the GRE (this date is tentative because I haven't paid the fee yet and the room could fill up before I do). I have already started studying.

I haven't been able to get any straight answers from FSU regarding what scores are required to gain admission into the program, so I have no doubt that it's a case-by-case evaluation. This could go either way, but in my case I don't take it as a good sign given what has transpired to date.

In doing an official practice test recently, I answered about 50-60% of the questions (including math) correctly before doing any math review or studying. Hopefully this is an indication of good things to come. If not, getting this degree will be much more of an uphill climb.
