Hi! To answer your questions, (A) yes, I have done an REU and worked as a lab technician. I have one paper in review for publication. (B) I anticipate very strong rec letters. (C) I am not an underrepresented minority. Thanks!

Hey! I'm hoping someone can help me decide whether to retake the GRE. Here are my stats: GRE Verbal: 159 // GRE Quant: 156 // GPA: 3.93 I have lots of research experience (lab tech, REU), and I'm applying for PhD programs in Ecology/Entomology. I'm hoping to be admitted to top programs like UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UMass Amherst, and University of Arizona. I don't have a good sense of what good GRE scores are or if I'll be a competitive applicant with these scores. Should I retake? If so, what scores should I shoot for? Thanks!
