No, its fine.

@Julliet, that’s exactly what the recommender did. I don’t have anything serious, I believe.

Really the money depends on where you are from (Here the min. salary is $4 a day). The cost of $195 plus application costs, can really be a burden. At least in my case it was, I had to get a loan to pay for everything. I just finished my master and returning from abroad was a huge expense, I also couldn’t get a job in the time being. When it comes to the GRE, the questions are usually easy but since english is not my native language sometimes I had to read more than once a prompt, I often misunderstand if I don’t read very concentrated, in the free practices of different companies I was doing much better.

Making my debt bigger, I could re-take the GRE but probably the result would arrive very late in the application process, perhaps it wouldn’t make a difference at that point.

And yes @xraymancs I agree with all you say. Many universities claim that they read the whole applications when it comes to graduates, but its really hard to believe if they receive 2k or applications.

I wish I had more time to prepare the application but I didn’t wanted to wait 1 year to apply for the next year. Considering it could take up 5 years to finish the grade, I really enjoy research but life must go on too. Probably if I get rejected I would apply to the UK.
