Hey guys,
I'm getting ready to send out a bunch of new applications after not getting into any of my choices last year. I was applying to very competitive programs so it's understandable I guess. However, I have been checking average GRE scores online and realized that my quant score is slightly below average ( v: 166, q: 157, AWA: 5.5). My top choice this year is Duke, where the average GRE quantitative score of last year's admitted students was 160.
I guess my question is: should I try to get a better GRE score or should I focus on other aspects of my application?
I'm also applying to other countries (and deadlines are looming quite closely) so I'm just not sure whether investing a month in intense, GRE prep is worth it. What do you guys think?
Thanks very much for the help!
Nico
