Should I retake my GRE?

[Genegirl]

Hello! 

 

I took my GRE just today and received not so great verbal score, and it really concerns me. I got 157 on Verbal and 163 on Quant. I will be graduating from Stony Brook University with GPA of 3.95 and I will be applying to most of selective schools (WashU, Harvard & Yale etc..) in biological sciences. Should I retake GRE for my verbal score in November???? Graduate school application process is really stressing me out... I want to CRY!!!!! (((((

Don't cry, sweetie. It's going to be okay.

 

I think you can definitely try again. If you want those hard, prestigious schools, then you need higher GRE scores.
