A GRE of 1130 maps to an IQ in the 90th percentile ( http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/GREIQ.aspx ). Hardly below average! Of course, in a good computer science program a lot of people will be at 99+ percentile, which can be a bit humbling.

Usually listening to a professor didn't help, I might as well tune out.

I think that's pretty normal, even among the very smartest.

I forget things very quickly if I don't continue to use them.

I think that happens to everyone. I sure can't do a derivative anymore.
