i had talked to the woman before i sent everything off to make sure i stood some sort of chance. i was very upfront with her and she told me that with my GRE score, my cumulative GPA, and my major GPA, that i had a great chance. Well, i'm sorry but there's a HUGE difference between a 3.0 and a 3.8.

and Glitterkitty, i came 60 points below the minimum but i called the department and personally asked them if they thought i should retake the GRE's before applying again and they told me no, that with my GPA, i should be fine.

Basically, i feel like i was lied to because i would not be making a big deal about this if i knew i didnt stand a chance. But i was strung along into thinking i could get in.

When you say you talked to a woman who exactly was she? Was she in the admissions department or a professor from the program you were trying to get into?

From your first post it sounded like the admissions people did lie to you. If that's the case then someone in admissions or wherever should be held accountable for giving you false information. I doubt you're the only one this has happened to for this program. I have no idea what grad school applications cost but I'd see if they would give you a refund. I'm sure if they had been upfront with you, you wouldn't have wasted your time and money.

Take heart there are other programs. Retake the GRE if you feel you can improve on your score.
