GRE: Submit or Retake?
in Political Science Forum
Posted
Hello!
I have taken the GRE last month and got V:164, Q:161 and AWA: 4.5.
I am planning to apply to the top 5-10 Political Science programs in the U.S. (comparative).
My GPA is around 3.90, and my undergrad school is among T3 in Canada. I have 3-5 reliable references (all received their Ph.D. from T5 in the U.S.) and a relatively original and quantitative writing sample, though not a publishable one.
Do you think, given the current cycle's conditions, I should submit these GRE scores to the schools that have made it optional? Or do you think I should re-take the test before the applications are due?
Also, I was wondering if any of you know how important the AWA section is for adcoms.
Thank you so much ?
