Retake?

[mhancock743]

So first of all hello! I am new to this place

My question is whether or not I should retake the GRE.

My scores: 730Q; 560V; 4.5A

I'm currently studying Applied Math / Comp Sci with a GPA of around 3.9.

However, I plan to apply to EE programs at various schools.

I realize hitting around the 750+ mark would obviously increase my odds,

but since the test costs 8 solid gold bricks to take, I ask myself and you

people if I would really benefit from retaking.

Thanks for your time!

fwiw, one of my friends (engineering major) scored 740 in his GRE, and i think he hasn't heard back from any schools. not saying that GRE is the only thing, as overall fit and funding matter more, it might be in your best interests to reconsider taking it.

ETA: 740 in quant, of course

Yes -- another vote for retake. It's too competitive to take the chance . . . .Especially those fields.

I suppose I already knew the answer to the question, but I didn't like the result haha. Anyway thank you for the insights Hopefully this time around will be better off.
