I plan to write the GRE in febuary 2010(havent taken the dates yet), keeping in view i have 3 months to prepare for the exam which semister would be a better option to apply for the fall 2010 or the spring 2011. will my test scores be in time to meet the deadlines(march to may) of universities for the fall semister.would applying for fall 2010 be affecting the financial aid and scholorship oppertunities.  and would it affect my application if i apply a year later??

Answer
Hi, Husna.

Many graduate programs only start people in the fall.

You can give it a try for F10 admissions.  Three months can be enough time to make some significant improvement in your GRE score.  If you give it your best try and don't get accepted, then the decision has been made for you!

For free information on the GRE and admissions process, please see my site:
