Depends on the program and the department. Sometimes programs don't weigh the GRE as heavily as others. It depends on what you bring to the table as an applicant and what differentiates you from other applicants in addition to what they are looking for.

Looking for some guidance as well. Especially in terms of drafting SOP's and Academic statements. It'll be my first time applying for my PhD and I am only applying to one school due to a family members health status; I want to stay semi local. Looking at UMich's Education Psych program. [The good] Experience/merit: received full funding for both my undergraduate and Master's degree. Moved away for a couple of years and began doing education transformation work for corporate philanthropy (what I am currently doing). I am passionate about equity work within marginalized communities. [The bad/worried about]: I did four years of research during undergrad but have not done research since. My GRE score can improve. My stats grade from undergrad is ? due to transitioning/cultural factors. (i.e part of what motivates me to want to do this work).
