Hey Marina,

Absolutely you can study for GRE own your own. There are online prep courses of Kaplan and they send you books for verbal and quantitative sections with some tip books etc. If you study hard with those Im sure you can make it. But be aware that it will be really hard for you to have a really good grade on verbal, you will feel like an alien and like a person who doesn't know anything about English.

My advice is, study really hard on quantitative and study strategically for the verbal part (dont try to memorize words, I did and it really didnt work=)

I hope you will have the best score :)
Good luck

Antpan Hey,

I read your SOP and its really interesting but maybe it could be more organized in terms of chronology. Maybe more emphasis on undergraduate courses and projects that you did. Lastly, there could be more attractive introduction part, maybe more details about your "eager" to do PhD:) I hope it will be helpful, please ask more if you would like to. Best luck for the admissions
