Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Listen, will you take the GRE for me and apply to grad school? You did it once and seem to have come out of it unscathed. I should have stuck my applications in when you were doing yours. I bet with all you had to do you might not have noticed. lol.

    p.s. If I had to write a quick resume here I wouldn't be able to, I don't even remember anymore everywhere I've worked. I hope I kept a copy of it somewhere.


    My math score wasn't high enough for chem or bio programs and there is nothing in the world that would make me take that horrible test again. I'm confident that you'll do better than I did. Take it.

    I would have completed your application for you. I think they may have been a bit confused receiving a personal statement about psych though

    Someone will just have to be okay with wherever you need to go.
    There are other places too where people enjoy hot wings.

    A lot that old stuff is probably irrelevant now anyway. You have better stuff to put on there. My jobs before TA-ing and Kaiser didn't make it onto my CV.

    Ugh, math. How I hate math. Who can I sleep with to pass the stupid math section without having to actually take it. How happy am I that there is a writing section now instead of that analytical one (fun as it is, it's still math-y).

    All my jobs since freshman year of college, except for working at Express and at the Vet clinic, ended up on my resume because I worked in labs that got papers published, so I tried to milk that for all it was worth. Now if I could only get one that has my name on it to be published.

      The math is algebra and geometry. The trick is being able to apply learnings by recognizing short cuts. You can sit there and calculate each, but you'd never finish.

      I know several people who scored in the 700s whose intelligence I'm not particularly impressed with.
      So, you who I am impressed by, should do quite well.

      I hear ya...
      I've got one study we're finishing up... well, I'm doing the analyses, otherwise it's done. If that turns out well, we'll submit it.
      I was planning on turning my thesis into a manuscript as well, but I may not now. Not as it is anyway. I had to collapse one of my IVs because of subject pool problems, so it's not the full design I wanted.

        GRE math is exactly the same as SAT math! There is NO difference at all. Basically, they don't expect you to learn any math in college

        I kicked ass on math but kicked even more ass on the logic/analytical part (99%). English .. eh ... well, let's not go there
        this post = teh win.

              It's absolutely not the same. You can use calculators for SAT, there isn't anything on the GRE that requires any real calculations on the GRE.

                I forgot my calculator for the SAT. Still scored a 760 on the math. 800 on English. Those tests are pretty worthless if you ask me. Considering how high I scored, and how poorly I've done in college at times nonetheless, the SAT didn't seem to have much predictive power.

                  the gre and gmat are stupid and worthless... basically if you get the first question right you get a harder question thats worth more points, if you get it wrong you get a simpler question thats worth less points... eventually if you are not able to answer their stupid meaningless questions you get easier questions and you score less... if you get the correct answer for the first 10 you will get a higher score... so if you are "smart" you will get a ridiculasly high score and if you are "not" then you will get a very very low score...

                  its insane to think that if you are given 30 questions and if you get 25 correct (just not eht first 25 but the last 25) you will get a LOW score... but if you get 15 correct and it was the first 15 then you will get a VERY HIGH score...

                  the SATs were nothing... considering the fact that you are taking a test that is actually being graded in a normal fashion and you are being testing on subjects that you JUST learned, it was too easy... anywho there is very big difference between the SATs and any grad school exam including the GRE GMAT the LSAT or the MCAT...

                    They don't have much predictive power... I think I remember something like 12% for the GRE.
                    They just haven't thought of anything better and so, they'll take 12% over nothing.

                    Hopefully, when combined with other stuff (gpa, letters of rec, etc) it's better than that.
