MSc in forensic science at Boston with these GRE scores

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I'm currently a master's student in South Africa applying to do a second MSc in forensic science at BU or GWU. I'm a recipient of the Fullbright scholarship and my grades are decent, the only thing I'm concerned about is my GRE. I got the following scores:

 

Verbal Reasoning: 157 (73% below)
Quantitative Reasoning: 156 (65% below)
Analytical Writing: 4.5 (78% below)

 

When I submitted these results to our Fullbright representative at the embassy, he told me that the scores aren't bad, but there's always room for improvement, and so advised me to write a second GRE. However while this is true, I am completely bogged down at work and am struggling to squeeze out the time and energy necessary to go through another GRE.

 

I would like to ask if my scores would be competitive enough among biological science candidates for those universities? I was using this article by Magoosh as a reference, and I don't seem to be far off. But I'd still like to get some further advice from anyone on whether or not I should rewrite.

 

Many thanks!!
