Don’t worry about this. It’s not like undergrad admissions. They don’t care at all if you have a life.

I don’t know for sure, but sounds like IMC is the competition I have heard of before. I would contact your school and/or IMC to see if there is a way you could enter.

Which field do you want to go into? This makes a difference in what advice people would give you.

The GRE is basically like the SAT. I wouldn’t even say it is more advanced. I think the verbal and writing sections may be graded harder since the pool of people taking the GRE is more competitive than the SAT.
