Mustang7189: Yeah that’s exactly what worries me.

Also all this talk of GPA reminded me of something. I’ve heard the GRE is sometimes used to assess the “credibility” of your GPA. As in, if you had a 4.0 but way underperformed on the GRE, then your GPA is probably inflated, and vice versa. I really don’t want the adcoms to think this way; if anything there’s grade deflation where I’m studying at. It’d be a grave insult to the amount of effort I put in.
