GRE complete

[talyen]

I have scored well enough to go to any school I want. I probably can't get into Harvard or Yale, but I'm okay with that, since they aren't "any school I want." Everyone else, watch out.

I even did +100 in the math section than I've ever done, and 'way better than earlier this week. Wow.

The percentiles will come in 2 - 3 weeks, and then I'll really understand my scores. For now, based on admission stats at the schools I've been looking into, I know that I can go the places I've checked out, or anywhere else. And that, my friends, is something I've never understood before.

Now I'm off to say goodbye to my grandfather. In many ways, I hope he passes away very, very soon. I'm going to bring some stuff to sing, since I'll be all alone with him.

Edited to add: I really wanted to call and share this news with someone who would care, live, and who would share my triumph! But dangit, it's Saturday, and I got VM for those I tried. *sigh* So you all find out at once. But I could really use some attagirls, if you'd like to send 'em.

ATTAGIRL! :D Hooray!

I hope you have a good visit with your grandfather - I'm sure he'd love to hear your singing.

*hugs*

Still, I'm sure it was beautiful music to dream to. ;)

Whoohoo! Congratulations on the great GRE results! What a great ego boost as you move forward with your plans.

May your grandfather's passing go as you wish, and may you go as gently as possible through the time surrounding it.

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Well, it shocked the heck out of me to see those numbers, I can tell you that. (:

Good going! Good luck with this new leg of life, and *hugs* about the family stuff.

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to figuring out the next steps for school.

No idea how I'll deal with losing my grandpa, so thanks for the hugs, I'll need 'em. Practice for when the grandparents who raised me go.
