One who is a top scholar in his discipline (a discipline I seek to study in a phd program) will also write a letter for me. SOP: I believe it is pretty good... it is currently being read and revised by prof. who is writing me an LOR I know this is difficult to answer, but do you think it's necessary to retake the GRE?
