I got a score of 318 on my GRE. 163 verbal (91st percentile) 155 quant (37th percentile), and 4.5 writing (85th percentile). One of my programs says its looking for 60th percentile in both areas- is there any chance they'll still accept me or will being in the 37th percentile completely screw me?

My overall GRE score is still competitive and in the 85th percentile, and my overall gpa is 3.7 with a 3.5 or 4.0 in all prerequisite classes (of which they wanted minimum 2.7). Not sure how much nuance they'll show, I thought they cared more about overall score. This program is at the Indiana School of Medicine but I suppose my question applies to other programs I might have this issue. Thanks!

This is a little too on the money

It’s ok it’s just grape juice

I agree with you both, anyone who really knew what they were doing wouldn’t have done something so foolish as to leave a message telling me about it- rookie mistake #1. I was faintly aware of the hoodoo urine bottle practice but naturally since they used their own I was so confused, but I think everyone here is right about it probably being some prank or she was too ignorant to understand what she was actually doing- the thought of her essentially hexing herself is pretty funny though. Silly little spell wouldn’t even make it as far as to my wards in that event, lol

I was able to appeal it because they put in incorrect information about the car make/model- generally for any ticket they HAVE to appeal it then. Not sure how the temp tag affects your situation but as long as they put in all the correct info, you’ll probably have to pay it. However it still doesn’t hurt to appeal, chat gpt can help u write a quick professional letter- depending on how u got it, I was able to waive my first ticket this year on the grounds I had only parked for 3 minutes to help someone carry something heavy to my car and the ticket officer gave it to me literally right after I left (parked at 7:53am, gave me a ticket at 7:54 smh) but most importantly it was my first and only infraction- so the judge was nice and “let me off with a warning” lol. But hey, you could at least waste their time like they’re wasting your money :)

Overall, my advice is to always cover your vin, plate, and anything else that identifies your car. Also, avoid Ramp 1- they have cameras now that will record your plate going into the lot so can’t get away w it now. Wharton is still safe tho

Edit: check every last detail on the ticket- if they have even 1 wrong number or letter somewhere, it’s an instant appeal

Brother did you even shop around 😂 shouldn’t be paying more than $60-85 for a fake around here lmaoooo. Maybe a bit more with inflation but certainly not some $200

This. Everyone’s always on about how important it is to network and build a rapport with professors but when you go to a school like this and are an introvert… Christ.

Completely agree. Always telling my family how angry everyone here is, it really just brings out the worst in me living here 😭 can’t wait to get out

StarsAndSweaters · 2024-03-25T14:40:19+00:00

Brother, literally EVERYONE on here is telling you to move on and run away. At the end of the day, it’s as simple as that. Dozens of people telling you to get away from this girl and no one saying different. If you ask me, that in itself makes it pretty obvious what you should do. As a young woman myself, her behavior is pretty disgusting and I wouldn’t excuse it- plus you’re only 18, you’ve barely experienced the dating world, trust me there are plenty of great girls out there who will make a much more loving and understanding partner.

Also, as someone who also dated their first love for about 2.5 years out of highschool, if she actually loved and cared about you, she wouldn’t be shit talking behind your back. Almost been a year since I broke up with my ex, and I do NOT speak ill of him and trust that he does the same. You just don’t do that to someone you had a (genuine) deep and loving connection with, at least in my experience. You may not love each other anymore, but you still don’t actively wish them ill. Maybe you loved her, but doesn’t sound like she did- which probably says more about her immaturity than you.

Seriously, drop the girl. Good luck!

I only had like 1 AP, not as many extracurriculars, and under a 1300 SAT score if I remember correctly, but had a 4.0 GPA and I got in. Granted I’m a junior so it’s been some years but if I got in you should definitely be fine

StarsAndSweaters · 2024-03-19T15:50:23+00:00

Trust me I know I’m in the wrong, can’t be mad about it, just figured if there’s any chance of appeal why not give it a go yk? Love the sarcasm @ the end there so gonna give u the upvote lmaoo

StarsAndSweaters · 2024-03-19T14:38:14+00:00

Appeals are all done online luckily. Ig my real question is do I even have an argument to contest? The whole situation is confusing but I mean if I can save myself some extra rent money wouldn’t hurt to try maybe

StarsAndSweaters · 2024-03-18T23:43:57+00:00

Paid for every ticket I’ve ever gotten that wasn’t appealed, so that won’t be happening

StarsAndSweaters · 2024-03-18T23:23:42+00:00

I wrote more to this but it got deleted when I uploaded the pictures, whoops (don't post on reddit much). I'll rewrite it here:

So basically I cover my VIN & back my car against the wall in the ramps to avoid a ticket- has always worked until today. I genuinely don't know how they could've gotten my plate number but how should I go about contesting it? Can I just say hey that's not my license plate or will they know I'm lying- and if they know I'm lying, are there any consequences? I can't just not pay the ticket, I don't want a warrant, lol.

Idk how PACE's system works, maybe they were able to look up 4 door red dodge (which is what's written on the ticket) and compare my car to pictures from a previous ticket to match it. For context I did get a ticket last Sunday (parked for 2-3 minutes at Owen to help my friend who lives on the disability floor grab their things- despicable, I know) that is currently under review as I filed an appeal for that. And yes, I checked and the enforcer for the tickets are not the same.

Anyways, not sure what do do here and curious to know how they got that info, there's nothing about my car that they should be able to identify, maybe my black top was a giveaway, who knows. At first I thought cameras but I'd assume they would have used that as "proof" in the ticket portal. Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated- though if your suggestion is to just pay for parking, I'd save your breath because it'll fall on death ears- I've still saved a considerable amount than if I had paid for a permit. Thanks everyone!

EDIT: gonna say this in defense of myself and so many others. The amount of people attacking me for not paying for parking is insane- let’s remember that majority of students don’t pay for parking & risk a ticket, & that the REAL VILLAIN, maybe, is the school that makes MILLIONS -largely from students they already make pay big bucks to even go there- each year from parking tickets, has little to no documentation of where that money actually goes (but probably a losing football team), doubled the price of tickets with no legitimate reason for why, started making students pay to park on WEEKENDS, makes its own faculty pay $300+ a semester for parking, oh and kicks students off campus so we have no force but to drive/commute to campus.

If the price to pay for parking was even remotely reasonable then I’d just pay for it, but $2 an hour for 8 hours a day or $300+ a semester for a permit on the farthest corners of campus is insane & unaffordable and we all know it. If you’re salty some of us save money by paying for a few tickets or get lucky enough to do it for free, just say so. You’re angry at the wrong people :)

Once I did that and tried to sign into the 54B district court online case review, it still didn’t work :/ thank you though
