Hi, I want to get into a funded PhD program at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. I have 161 in GRE Quant (163 Verbal, 4.5 AWA). I want to know if I should take the GRE again and get a better quant score, or if this would be enough for me to clear the cut-off. Can anyone tell me? I have a master's degree from The University of Manchester, UK, with a 2:1 merit (GPA 3.6) and two papers (one published, one communicated) in international journals.

Cal anyone tell me exactly how good the university of Rice is for Chemical Engineering? I sent some pre-application emails to a few members of the faculty there, and most of them have taken interest in my undergraduate research and scores. I need to know whether the department is worth wasting money on before I go about a complete application. Thanks!
