I took a general economics course, a basic math course, and a political statistics course all of which I got an A in. For the schools that don't require GRE scores, would you advise that I apply and just don't submit my GRE scores? And retake the GRE and submit the new scores for the schools that require it? How soon can I take the GRE again? I took it a couple weeks ago from this coming Monday...thanks for the responses!

By the way I meant GRE score in my original post now GPA score!

I'm not sure, I haven't gotten my detailed score report back yet. Don't I have to wait 60 days before taking my GRE again? Math is just a really big weakness of mine...I studied it for a long time too and still did horrible. I'm really not sure that my score would be any better I'm absolutely dismal at math.

I am a senior at a top ranked public university hoping to get into an MPA program for the coming Fall. I recently took my GRE and am quite disappointed with my scores. Most of the deadlines for the Fall are coming up soon so I don't think I'm going to have a chance to retake... GRE: Q = 145 or 540 old scale V = 151 or 470 old scale Writing = 4.5 Political science major, anthropology minor 3.1 cum. GPA, 3.2 in major 3 solid academic letters of recommendation from professors that know me well, 1 professional letter Resume: Two political campaign internships, numerous extra-curricular activities, volunteer work, two years of running my own tennis business Good personal statement Not applying for any kind of financial aid... I am applying to: Northeastern, Suffolk, Brown, UConn, Baruch, NYU, John Jay, and Pace... What do my chances look like? Will my poor GPA score spoil it for me or do I still have a chance with good letters, a good resume, a good personal statement, and a decent academic transcript? Thanks!
