It's a full time program. I doubt I would "bomb" the test, but I may not get as high of a score as I would like (i.e. good enough to help compensate for my Undergrad GPA) the first time. From what I have heard and understand people often don't do as well as they would like the first time and retake it. Is it that bad of a red mark on your record if you don't get a high score the first time around? Wouldn't they be more concerned with your latest and hopefully improved score?
I'm not that worried about the essay. Certainly don't think it will come out "crappy." Several of my friends who got into good Grad schools are going to help me with it.
Not trying to argue with your points here. Again, I don't have experience with this process. So if I am missing something, please let me know.
What school and program? The other thing to keep in mind is that some programs are very insecure about themselves and want applicants who have done their homework and networking with that program.
