Another update: I was offered admission to SAIS w/ funding! Proof that GRE scores aren't everything when you have more work experience, strong essays/statements, and recommendations.

Update: I've received offers from the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy as well as GW's Elliott School of International Affairs for their MA in International Affairs programs. JHU SAIS will release their decisions at the end of this week. I ended up not taking the GRE again--my work experience, essays, undergrad achievements, and letters of recommendations were strong.

Thanks for your answer! I'm probably going to retake but I'm not too stressed about the application.

First time GRE taker

I took the GRE for the first time today and came out with a 160 V and 146 Q. I believe I did decently on the essays although I don't know for sure yet. I'm really interested in getting into Johns Hopkins SAIS MA in DC program for Fall 2018. Also interested in GWU Elliott School of International Affairs and UC San Diego GPS. Curious if y'all think my scores warrant a re-take? I tried to give myself plenty of time before apps for next year opened up. My undergrad was in Business/Political Economy with 3.5 GPA, and I have about 3 years of work experience between Capitol Hill, State Department and federal consulting. I speak Spanish, French, a little Russian and have travel/work experience in Southeast Asia and Latin America. Thanks for your input! -Nervous hopeful
