I just got back from my GRE test and got the following score. The percentiles are taken from Wikipedia...I won't get the actual numbers until later:
V: 600 (85%)
Q: 780 (90%)
I am pretty sure I'll get a 6.0 on the AWA (I did when I took the GMAT, and I know that my essays were good).
My other stats are:
Concurrent Degrees:
BA International Affairs and Commerce
BS Applied Economics
GPA: 3.6 (with a strong upward trend )
Study Abroad in Japan for a Semester
Nothing less than an A in all of my ECON courses.
Will have taken all three calculus courses offered (I've gotten an A in calc 1 and probably will in calc 2 too)
My school is a small private known pretty well in IR (University of the Pacific: School of Int'l Studies) but isn't the most prestigious institution.
My advisors are telling me to apply to the top programs (Berkeley, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, UCSD, UCLA). They think I can get in, but now I'm worried about my Verbal score. Should I cram and take the GRE again, or is my time better spent focusing on my SOP?
