> Ugh, have you been diagnosed with this? Do you get accomodations?
No, I haven't. I don't know that it would count as a genuine disorder or not because I probably am just 'a fair bit below average across the whole population' or something like that. It probably doesn't count as a disorder. I don't think they make exceptions for that sort of thing. I'm just not too smart in that respect. They don't make allowances for stupidity. That is kind of the point of the exam.
> And regarding your post above...ugh. I'm sorry. What a horrible experience to have to go through. Do you have to go for the top schools? What about a middle tier school?GRE again.
Have been told not to apply to anything outside the top 50 in phil. The two I applied to are the only 2 in the top 50 who didn't require GRE scores. Never get a research post if you apply outside the top 50. Lucky to get a job at all... And it comes down to a fair bit of that even if you do go somewhere in the top 50...No.
If I don't get into Australia it is time to cut my losses in that field.
