So, in spite of having to spend any and all free time studying for the GRE, and completing graduate school applications, Dave earned all A-pluses in fall quarter at UC Davis. Wow!
Here are Dave's GRE scores:
Writing: 4.0
Reading: 460
Math: 700
Physics: 820
Not too terrible on the language stuff, considering Dave received no extra time, so ETS disabled him there. No- studying more couldn't have helped; it has to do with his autism. It takes him twice as long as most other people to read, but when he's done, he understands the material much, much better than most...
Same with his writing-- Dave can't write fast under pressure, but with plenty of time to do so, he is a brilliant writer. I can't just technical writing, but his professors tell me he writes the best science papers and laboratory reports they've ever read. Again, wow.
Here's Dave's current admissions wish list:
UC Davis
Wisconsin -Madison
Rutgers
CalTech
UCSD
University of Arizona
