My first question is regarding GRE scores. I took it twice and scored pretty similarly. I was wondering if anyone had insight as to if one score looks better than the other or if the difference does not amount to much. Thanks.
First Test: 162Q, 156V, 4 AW
Second Test: 159Q, 161V, 4.5 AW
Still very early on in my process but figured I would post my "am I competitive" since I am on here.
