Retake GRE

[Yuri_Gagarin]

Hi all,

I just took the GRE and got Q:750 and V:490.

I'm an international student, and I'm applying to the summit of the top engineering graduate programs (UCB, Stanford).

Would you retake the test?

I have to prepare for the TOEFL and it will be tight.

I would like to hear: No those are incredible grades, you'll get in.

But i know they aren't, so...

Thanks guys.

With verbal I would aim at at least 550, even if you are an international student.

So yes, if I were you, I would retake.

I guess you know the answer yourself.

Your Quant is 750 (is it roughly 82%?) and as you said, you are applying to top engineering programmes in America. It probably really should be 790-800.

Then again, there are many other factors! GRE is not everything, TOEFL is not everything blah-blah. You never ever ever know when it comes to admissions!

All the best!
