Looking for some advice in regards to GRE scores.
I got my B.S. in Civil Engineering from a top 5 state school, with an overall GPA of 2.69 in Spring 2015. Low GPA due to family issues that started during my 3rd year and continued off and on until I graduated. I am only applying to one professional master's program (yes, just the one) because there is one school in particular that has curriculum I'm most interested in (in Engineering Management) in my preferred format (Distance) and while it would be nice to have personally and helpful professionally, it is not necessarily required for my career advancement. The PE exam is more important for that, which I might have to delay if I start this program.
I've worked as an engineer for the past 3 years and have excellent letters of rec, 2 professional and 1 from my senior project advisor. I just took the GRE last week and these were my "unofficial" scores: Verbal - 160, Quant - 158. The program's middle 50% for both are: Verbal - 153 to 160, Quant - 156 to 164. My quantitative score is the one I'm worried about.
Should I just go balls to the wall and study harder for the Quant stuff, and retake the GRE? Do you think it's worth it? I'm asking because my husband is unemployed right now, so money is tight.
