I should clarify when I am applying. I am applying next fall of 2019. To make a long story short, I am currently in a RA position that requests I work in the lab for two years. This lab is providing me with an exceptional experience of working with diverse populations and expanding my knowledge of R to work on the data project. Ideally, I would like to present the best package I can to the programs I am interested in. I ended up retaking the GRE today and got a 320 (162V, 158q). I had the time so I figured I would give it one final shot.

Ended up giving it another go. Went up 10 points and landed a 320. Thanks for the recommendation to take it again!

Thanks for the advice, I am giving it another go!

Thank you. I am on the fence, I have taken the GRE 3 times and each time I have improved. This time my quant dropped 3 points and verbal increased 7. I guess you can say my GPA follows the cliche "live by semester to semester college athlete" and then my last 2.5 years kick it into gear. I have been following your advice to others and realize how subject the whole process can be. Are they top 30+ school scores...no. I was hoping they might pass the initial screening at other schools because I will have a strong SOP, LORs and CV.....WHAT A TOUGH DECISION!!!!

Thanks for your advice! I was hoping to avoid studying for them again, but the more I have read through this forum the more it looks like I am going to have to.

Hi, I recently look my GRE and received a 310: 157 V and 153 Q, AWA I am estimating between a 4 -5. I am planning on applying to clinical psychology programs in two years. I am unsure whether or not it is worth it to take the GRE again considering I seem to be at the cutoff, although at the low end for most clinical programs. I have 3 years of undergrad research experience and served as research coordinator my last year. I have two current publications, one of which I have first authorship on, poster presentations, and potentially another first authorship manuscript. I also have one year experience post bac as an RA with an IVY league clinical lab and recently accepted another 2 year clinical neuropsych RA position that could lead to publications in my areas of interest. I also have a very strong extra curriculars and volunteer experience. My undergrad GPA was a 3.44 and major GPA of 3.9. I was wondering if I should focus more on publications and clinical involvement with my current position or is my GRE not competitive enough. I am open to hearing any input you have for me. Thank you.
