so that happened.

I have taken the GRE. I have also lost all will to live. (Although based off the rough estimate from the old scoring, scores may not actually be all that bad, but still: LOST ALL WILL TO LIVE. Will find out actual scores -- er, at some point in the future. November, apparently, according to the schedule online.)

Also, my testing center was filled with Canadians taking the MCAT, for that extra special WTF factor. (We are really not that close to the Canadian border. I was not only the only person taking the GRE, I was the only person actually from Ellensburg. Although not the only American, that would have been just too weird.)

At about ten minutes before I left this morning I realized I probably should have worked out which institutions I was going to send said scores to. Since the UK doesn't require them: the history departments at the University of Washington, UC-Berkeley, Ohio State University, and Brown University. I am reasonably certain I can get into the U-Dub and Ohio State; Brown and Berkeley are the reach schools; the schools I really want to get into are Cambridge and Oxford. (Unfortunately, I'm actually not a hundred percent positive I sent my scores to the right departments at Berkeley and Brown -- I ran out of time to look it up. *facepalm facepalm facepalm*) I guess they also go to my undergraduate institution, so hopefully I didn't fuck that up and at some point in the future the Tulane University Classics Department will get them.

Also then my mother came and took me to get frozen yoghurt, and then to go say hi to my high school band director, who was having some kind of technical problem involving some kind of drumset strap and a grommet, it was all too technical for my lib arts major brain. Oh my god, all the HS kids, they are so little, everyone who was there when I was HAS ALREADY GRADUATED I feel so old.

I think you've got a brief window -- a few days or so? -- after the test to amend where the scores go and whatnot, free of charge. It's after the scores are sent out that you get charged for it. Mind, this is about...5 years out of date? So things might have changed, considerably (for example, your SAT was not my SAT! /old person rambling), but if you call and say, "I got the departments wrong due to test brain and would like to add these schools as well," it is do-able. Just don't let them go to the wrong department!

Also, hugs for taking that beast!

Thanks! Beast is right -- although it looks like I might have had it better than the MCAT students, they were all there when I left. *twitches*

*checks* Well, it looks like I sent it to the right place; it's just that my ability to actually get into those schools for the program I want is...not that good, because of my lack of language. *hands*
