My complicated GRE..is it enough?!?

[bicalix]

Hi, I'm applying for an MPP in Georgia Tech, Georgia State (MPA); UMass and Univ Oregon and I just received my GRE scores verbal 157, Quant 145 and 4.0 AWA.

 

I am Portuguese, and I am applying to these colleges on a Fulbright Fellowship (so my essays and other submission material has already been throroughly evaluated by 2 different committees). Anyway,  I have 1 year experience working for research Institute in the university where I took my bachelors (History), and I also have a Masters in European Union Studies 3 years working in policy analysis and evaluation of public programs for a consulting firm in Denmark.

 

As I am currelty debating whether or not to go for a retake, I guess I just wanted some outside feedback...

 

so help pleaseeee

Is 23% percentile in Q enough to get into the MPP programs that you're applying to???

thats basically my major doubt

 

I take it you vote for retake?

[iowaguy]

I don't know MPP and I'm not on a Fulbright, but in my field 23% Q would not cut it for acceptance into top schools...  One thought would be to call the admissions office of those schools and ask if there is a GRE cutoff for admissions.

I don't know the specifics of your field, but yeah, I would retake the GRE.
