I am hoping to get into a top PHD Psychology program for Fall 2014. For example the PHD in Developmental Psychology at Harvard GSAS.
I have a very low overall GPA (2.9) due to medical circumstances, a high major GPA in Psychology (3.9), and I just got my GRE results: 167 Verbal, 163 Quant., 5.5 Analytical Writing.
Do you think it would be a good idea for me to retake the GRE to try to bump up my Quant. score? It is in the 87th percentile while my other 2 scores are in the 97th.
My research experience and letters of recommendation are probably mediocre to average, since I was in and out of my undergraduate school (due to the medical problem) and could not really build on lab time or relationships with faculty.
What do you all think?
