your august 2010 score is the average/above average scores of engineering students that were ACCEPTED to top schools like MIT, stanford,etc. so i have no clue why you would feel you need to retake them....your first score was excellent...stop wasting money on the GRE lol

Hi Neeraj,

The second time you took the GREs, you did worse than the first time. This is not a good thing. Admissions committees want to see an improvement in your performance. I recommend you re-take the test.

Also, the profile you've listed is hard to interpret. If you could give more information, others may be able to help you evaluate your potential.

Good luck!
