ladyseacow, if you don't mind me asking, what were your stats? Getting a full scholarship to American sounds like a dream!

Thanks for the help and advice! I think I am going to take it again in May, just so I can say that I did. I'd hate to get rejected from all of the schools I apply to and wonder "what if" about my score.

Took the GRE this morning, and did not do nearly as well as I had hoped... 610v, 630q...waiting on AWA. :cry: My question is, is it worth it to retake? I'm applying to MPP schools that all have average GRE's that are pretty much higher than that, but I wonder how much my other credentials affect my application. (Some background: 3.1 undergrad, 3.9 first masters (education), teach for america member, couple of internships.) Does TFA really help, or am I just fooling myself that I can get into a top 10 school? Or should I take it again, and cross my fingers that I can get a high 600s verbal (which I got on nearly all of my practice tests)? Any help would be GLORIOUS.
