I applied to three grad schools last year for a degree in Forensic anthropology and was rejected by all three (ouch)
I was told by one of them that I was in the top ten percent of applicants but my low Quantitative score was what concerned them. My originals scores were 157 Verbal, 146 Quant
After studying for three months, having one panic attack and generally stressing the point of vomiting. I retook the GRE today and got a 157 Verbal and a 150 Quant. I was hoping for a higher Quantitative to be perfectly honest, I think some of it was me panicking a bit.
I did some research and the schools I want to apply to either don't mention a minimum score or the minimum is exactly 150 Quantitative and Verbal (with one being 145)
I'm wondering if I need to retake the test a third time or if meeting the minimum requirements is enough. I hear so much how the GRE is the least important part but it seems like it is what kept me back last time.
If it helps, my GPA was a 3.74 and I graduated with an Honors Degree.
