I should also add that I'm not a great test taker and have always struggled with Math. I spent most of my time trying to study the math portion only to realize I needed to study the Verbal a little more. If I retake it I know I could definitely do better on the verbal. I might do a little better on the Quantitative, but I just want to know if it's worth it. I also did well in college 3.46 GPA and I have about 3 years of teaching experience. I've talked with an English PHD student who scored pretty low on the Q and she was able to get into all the programs she applied to.

I need some advice. I took the GRE and did study for it, probably not enough now that I've taken it. Q was 140 and V was 148. I definitely know these are poor scores especially the Quantitative. I'm applying to Loyola Chicago, Depaul Univ, Boston Univ, and Indiana Univ. for a Master's in Education and Counseling. Will these scores greatly effect my chances of getting into these schools? I'm prepared to retake the GRE now that I have a better idea of what it entails. I am confident however that I'll have a great personal statement and supporting documents. None of the schools actually provide a minimum GRE score and I can't find any information as to GRE averages for these schools or programs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Katie D.
