Got my Score... nothing to be proud of..

I got my score on Friday. I am in complete shock, it is horrible,and laughable. I scored much worse than expected. On Friday afternoon, I set in my office and stared at the email. I hoped that it was a mistake and the email would be called back. Since it's now Monday and the score is the same, I have to accept it.

Needless to say, I am befuddled (read: a dumb word that makes me smile) I don't know what I am going to do. My score almost assuredly guarantees rejections by my top choices. I have spent a small fortune (enough for a pair of Jimmy Choos or a month's rent in Austin) on the test, prep books, and applications. I have applied to 6 schools that will definitely be laughing out loud at my application.

I have never ever failed at test so I am in an unknown space. I don't know whether to give up, spruce up my application or run away from everything. The fighter in me wants to dry to salvage the application process this cycle. I even am thinking about hiring someone to look at everything and give me an objective view of my chances. I don't want to take the test again but will probably take it again after a prep course. More money and more ways to be disappointed again. I don't know. I think I am going to give it up.
