Should I take the GRE again? (Applying for M.A. Education)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello! I want to get a Master's in Education along with licensure to teach in secondary schools, but I'm on the fence about whether or not I should take the GRE again.

I took it with zero preparation and had just gotten my wisdom teeth out the day before (therefore on plenty of vicodin as well), so let's just say that I didn't do my best. I ended up with:

630 Verbal (90%)

660 Quantitative (61%)

4 Writing (48%, ouch)

Do you think that's enough to get into most grad programs in Education? How much do they look at the writing score? To give you an idea of the schools I'm looking at, they include UT Austin, U Michigan, U Washington, UNC-Chapel Hill, etc.

I graduated from Cornell with majors in English, French, and German with a GPA of 3.93... do you think that might shift the focus off my less-than-stellar test scores?!

Thanks for your advice!
