sshopeful Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) I took the GRE twice, once last summer with scores of 160V, 145M, 5.5 WR and once this summer with scores of 150V, 151M, and 5.5 WR. I have a 3.4 UG GPA from a well-regarded private New England LAC, a 3.8 Masters GPA (with honors designation on thesis), 2 years of work experience in education. My question is: should I be retaking the exam, or just choosing between those scores to submit? My top choice right now is Boston College, Lynch, but I know their average GRE scores are 609V, and 662M (but that includes both Masters and doctoral candidates) Does anyone have any encouraging words? What should I do? Edited August 17, 2012 by sshopeful
wildviolet Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 If you're worried, you could contact the school to see what they have to say. My numbers aren't too different, and I took it last summer: V164, Q159, AW 5.0 (but I didn't care about this one, and I don't think my school did either). Higher scores definitely make you more competitive for fellowships/scholarships.
