some girl had that purse in class.
my teacher puts a frog sticker on the scantrons of those people that make a 90 or above. i'm on the upper end of the curve in that class. i don't know if i enjoy that; then i realize that i haven't learned anything. what's missing from the exams? MECHANISMS. questions that require analysis/deeper thought. basically whatever's in a rigorous test. at least this is good mcat prep, in case i want to take it again. she also wrote some questions wrong, so i'm gonna end up in the A as opposed to the A- range.
i'm considering taking the biochem gre after this summer. it covers bioc, cell, and genetics, which is basically most of what i'm reviewing this summer. paper-based test, 170 minutes to do ~180 questions. piece of cake? the bio one covers all eukaryotes and ecology/evolution (blegh). fucking educational testing service- $130 and additional fees?! oh, the gre hasn't been revised yet. perhaps i should take it before they do that.
so i haven't narrowed my categories down. better that way i suppose? since i'm sure most PI's aren't going to reply to my email, shouldn't take any chances being narrow/picky before i even get accepted, yes?
another test tomorrow. better get those pedigrees and recombinations/mappings/linkages down.
i wanna take ya downtown. if only i could take myself downtown. stuck in boring southwest SF. clare was right about this area. boring, boring, and boring.

yeah.. good point. mass emailing may be the solution to your problem. keep your PIs as contacts though! it'll be good for you later on.
I'm pretty sure they're not revising the GREs anymore.
