Hi all, I'm an international student considering applying to a phd program in Eng literature for fall 2011. I just took the general GRE last month and got V690 and Q720. The problem is that my AW is only 4.0. I'm worried that it will seriously hurt my application since I'm applying for a phd program in English Literature. It's probably too late to retake the general GRE and I have the subject GRE coming up next month. Should I focus on writing samples and SOP and continue with the scores that I have now or delay my applications and shoot for next year? (after retaking the general GRE later on) Thanks
