Rote Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm applying for PhD in the U.S (Fall 2011). I really appreciate if you could take a look at my profile and give me some advices on whether I should retake the GRE. I just finished the GRE and I blew it: 370V, 800Q, waiting for my writing score, but my expectation is 4 or 5. I am so disappointed with my verbal score. Anyway, here is my background. - 3.34 GPA (undergrad in Computer Engineering) - Finished my master degree from the same department within one year. - 2 years working experiences as a programmer. - done some research during my undergrad and master on speech recognition, natural language processing, AI, and data mining. - published a paper in an international conference, which is considerably the best in its field. - TOEFL iBT: 100 (Reading 25, Listening 27, Speaking 20, Writing 28) I am looking at the top 20 schools and a few top 10 schools for a PhD in Machine Learning (e.g. CMU, Cornell, Berkeley, UC Irvine, USC, Stanford, etc.) My GRE scores worry me because I am an international applicant. Should I retake the GRE? Thanks for reading this. Edited August 10, 2010 by Rote
Strangefox Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 370V is too little even for an international student. I would retake it.
balderdash Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Definitely retake if you're thinking top 20, even if you're an international student.
