Hey guys, this is a long one so I apologize.
I applied to University of St. Augustine’s Flex MOT program for Spring 2019. During my phone information session with their enrollment advisor (apparently a requirement after your application is received), she told me my GRE scores were lower than what they usually accept and that I should considering re-taking.
She’s right, my GRE scores aren’t great, however, I’ve taken the test 3 times at this point. I guess I just crack under the pressure of the test format and walked out with the same score every time. Literally not a point different.
I politely explained, and said that I was hopeful that all the other required components of my application would at least allow me to be considered.
She said I would still be considered, but my chances of acceptance wouldn’t be as high as I would like them to be...
Fast forward to this morning, I received an email from the enrollment advisor stating that they are still accepting applicants and was wondering if I had retaken the GRE yet...
I like that this program is so close to home, but I’m really upset that I’m being looked at on paper by them from such a narrow standpoint. I am confident that the other parts of my application are pretty strong. I was really hoping this would be a school that looked at students more as a whole, but it doesn’t seem like it.
Does anyone have any advise on how I should respond or what I should do?
Thanks in advance.
