  1. Thanks everyone. I actually called one of them and they told me the AW score was fine. Verdict: Eff this test I'm never taking it again!
  2. I took the GRE for the first time a few months ago. I got a 4.5 on the AW section and I know I could probably score a 5.5 if I took the test again. My worry is that if I take the test again, I won't score as highly on the other sections--particularly the quant section. Sometimes I hear that schools only look at your highest scores on each section from the tests you've taken, but is this really the case? They get all of the scores together; I don't see how they could ignore a later score that turned out to be lower. For the programs I am applying to (Health Policy/Economics PhD programs), the score they are most interested in is definitely the quant score. I appreciate everyone's comments. Thanks in advance
  3. Statsguy, Thanks for your input. So you're a phd in straight statistics. Do you suggest a phd in biostatistics over a phd in straight statistics because I said I was interested in public health? Would a phd in straight statistics allow for more flexibility in your opinion? And also, what value do you see in a terminal masters in statistics as a professional degree--if any? Thanks for your thoughts, dag
  4. Hello, I'm interested to hear people's thoughts about this. If I am interested in the quantitative fields of public health (biostat/epi) but don't want to be pigeonholed within public health, does it make more sense to get a masters in statistics?
