Hi all,
I'm applying for interdisciplinary environmental Ph.D. programs to start Fall 2014. I'm applying to Berkeley, Yale, Duke, UCSB, Michigan... pretty much all the schools with the most prestigious environmental programs. I took the GRE in July and I've been going back and forth on whether to take them again. (My boss, an anthropologist, thinks it's a bad idea to take them again, but my mother has started nagging me about signing up to take them again every time I call her.)
My scores are 164V/161Q/4.5 writing. Not sure what happened there with the writing score, since I'm a good enough writer to be currently writing research papers for a living. Also, are the verbal and quantitative scores good enough? They are in the 93rd and 81st percentiles, respectively.
If I take them again, I guess it will be sometime in mid-late October. I assume that will be enough time for programs with early December deadlines?
