thank you very much for your response!

hi all, I've just received 5 years funding to study ancient history at the UCLA history department. While I am absolutely thrilled, I am quite curious about how UCLA history stands out among other programs. I am an international and does not really know about perceptions inside the U.S. regarding different history programs with ancient history emphasis. If somebody could share their insights I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you for your replies. I guess the better choice is to produce good writing for the adcom instead of preparing for another GRE.

I am an international student. I scored a 6.0 for AWA but did not perform as well in Q (700)& V (550). I want to apply for ivy league history programs, and I fear that 1250 won't be too impressive. Do you think my AWA score can compensate my lower QV scores? Should I retake the GRE again, in order to obtain better scores? Also, I am also wondering: Is the AWA score important in evaluations at all? Thank you.
