Hi! I am wondering your thoughts/opinions on how likely I am to get into my schools and if I should retake my GRE. 

Undergrad: George Washington University 

GPA: 3.81 

Experience and leadership: assistant teacher at pre school, gymnastics coach, summer camp counselor, NSSLHA member and leadership role, division 1 gymnastics team at GW, NCAA all-American scholastic team 

GRE: 149 V 147 Q,  writing i did not get back yet 

I would like to think my letters are strong as well as my personal statements. I know being a student-athlete looks great and my GPA.  I do have a record of academic dishonesty to report, but for something rather innocent so I think as long as I explain myself it will be okay. My GRE score is what I am most worried about, although many schools Im applying to have waived it (UNC chapel hill, Towson, Temple, Boston U, Emerson, Loyola UMD). But, my other schools including my top choice GW have not waived it (GW, NYU, UMD, Delaware) 

How competitive do you think I am, and do you suggest retaking my test?

Hi! I think you have a pretty good chance :) Like you said, some schools have waived the GRE scores entirely so your other experiences should stand out. Don't forget to link your experiences back to speech! Good luck!
