Jorge_158 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Hi! I am intending to apply to Political Science programs, in the field of comparative politics, to a mix of Top 10 and Top 25 programs. I am an international student. My score is 164 Q, 156 V and 4.0 AWA. Do you think I should retake the exam? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmo103 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I would retake it and try to get your verbal score up. Jorge_158 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 164 is not low for Q, but not exceptionally high either. 156 is definitely not good for V, and will hurt your chances, but if I have an exceptional, exceptional, exceptional profile that makes you look like quant geek then I think 156 will not necessarily "doom" you. AW is a bit low as well, but as I said if your background is mainly quant, those inperfections, in the eyes of some profs/adcom members, are tolerable. If you are not a quant geek, retake the exam.

Jorge_158 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Ok. I would retake it then. Just to close, the 156 fill "will hurt definitely my chances", even though I am a Mexican applicant (100 percent International student)? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
