My friend who just got her MFA (and who received full/majority funding for the degree to boot) told me she didn't study and in fact guessed her way through the entire math section. She thinks she got a 300.

I am leaning towards taking the GRE sooner now, seeing how the scores are, not worrying and loving the bomb, and just focusing on other stuff. The writing sample, and of course as erin said the SOP (which by the way, they are going to suck, each college wants a different length and just slightly different prompts, damn them!) are really going to be the make-or-break elements of my application.

That, and I'm gonna have bomb-ass letters of recommendation, I'm pretty sure.
