Hello all! I’m a Teach For America Corps member and have been teaching 6th graders for a little over 3 years now. I am looking to matriculate for my MBA in roughly 2 years and could use some alleviation of anxiety about my stats. Mainly my GRE score is what’s stressing me as I’m not the best test taker and achieved a 320 after 3 attempts.
