I raised my verbals from mid-150s to 163 with Magoosh. Math is my weakness, but I'm in English, so a 145 was a somewhat respectable showing. I didn't have time to work with the math portion.
Hey! I think that retaking the GRE is a good move. Some schools will accept students with quant scores in the 140's, but getting in the 130's is probably getting a little too low for most schools to see your scores as competitive, unfortunately. I'd focus on getting that math score up to at least around a 145-ish so you can get at least a 300 total score. Math was definitely my downfall on the GRE, so I tried to study it as much as I could stand (I'm okay at math but nowhere near as good at it as I am with reading and writing :P). I used Manhattan Prep's 5 lb. book of GRE questions and found it very helpful for studying. Also studied around 1-3 hours every day (with some days skipped since I worked all summer) for two months up to my testing date. Ended up with a 154 in the quant section (woo!) so it payed off at least!
Idk if you've tried looking these programs up on ASHA's edfind, but usually they post a range of GPA's that they accept. Honestly a 3.75 is a pretty dang solid GPA so if you can get your GRE score up I think you'd have a solid chance getting into most schools! It's also important to remember that schools also value your SOP, experience, LORs, etc. so as long as you're well-rounded you will probably get into a least a few schools good luck!
I'll be going to West Texas A&M. I only applied to 3 schools and apparently Eastern New Mexico lost my application?! Not interested in following through with the grad dept to find out what happened. I see it as a sign that I should go to WT! Anyone else going? I'd love to connect!
