Hey @AcademicChatter, are there any success stories of those who did poorly on the GRE but still got into their PhD programs? Please let me know. Today was my 2nd try & it did not go well. Rough day https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😞" title="Disappointed face" aria-label="Emoji: Disappointed face"> pics of your cute pets are also encouraged #AcademicTwitter #phdchat

Ps- I am applying to Sociology programs. I have a Masters degree and feel good about the other components of my app... but this just sucks!

Thank you all so so much for sharing your input & experiences (and amazing pet photos https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😻" title="Smiling cat face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling cat face with heart-shaped eyes">). You all made my night so much less sad. I have hope that this will not stop me from getting into an amazing program! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">

I truly cannot thank each one of you enough for taking time to give your input/ advice & to lift me up. Your kindness and support is overwhelming! I am feeling much better.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❣️" title="Heart exclamation" aria-label="Emoji: Heart exclamation">
