Poor Gre

[bbdd2]

Wondering if I should retake.

Q 152

V 158

GPA is about 3.3/4 WES

Applying to pharmaceutical sciences programs phd at medium to low ranked schools.

I'm an international student

Expecting about 4.5- 5.5 in analytical writing

Wondering if I should retake so I stand a better chance.

I do have one year internship experience with an Indian research agency for pharmaceuticals

Taught in labs to first year students.

Please help assess my credentials.

PS A couple of schools clearly state 300/3.0 Gre/GPA as base requirements

Yes, you should probably work to get your quant score higher. The rest is good enough.

Seconding this one, for a scientific field a quantitative score of 152 is very low and won't inspire much confidence, but nothing else is a red flag. You could use the results search here for the programs you're interested in attending to see what the stats are for those they admit/reject and see how you compare.
