So recently I did the GRE test and my unofficial scores were reported to me. When I was at the stage of entering the 4 schools to send the grades to the ETS' GRE software crashed. At the time I thought that the scores went through even though the software crashed when I was entering the scores. Now today I got an email from ETS saying that they apologized for the technical difficulties and gave me a voucher to retake the test. Now right now I am worried because I would prefer not to take the GRE again as I am working and I want to focus on other things in the upcoming months, including PhD applications with the scores I think I currently have. Has anybody ever encountered this problem before, and doesnt the grades automatically have to go through before I get to the school selection page at the end of the test?

Interestingly, I got very good grades in two econometrics courses I did in undergrad, and 2 advanced econometrics courses I did for my MSc. I think that my best option is just to do the test over next year. However, just to get an idea, does anybody know of someone else that got through for an economics PhD with such a low quant score even to a lowly ranked school (NOT top 100)?

Hi Everybody, Prospective Economics PhD applicant here. I did the GRE recently and scored lower than I did on the practice exams. My scores were essentially 155Q and 154V. Now, I could take the test over, but with my work load at my job and the extra work I will need to put into the GRE to improve my score I dont think I would have enough time for the rest of the year to do the exam. Also, I have very good work experience applying economic concepts, and I have very good scores in almost all my math courses from College. Therefore, I am thinking about just going ahead and applying with with the score I already Have, My question is, who got into an Economics PhD program with similar scores? Where do you guys think I should apply?
