janaca Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I am applying to PhD programs in Literature and Gender Studies, and I am wondering which of my GRE scores to report to schools. I took the test twice. The first time, I got 169V, 158Q, and a 4.0 AWA. The second time, my scores were 168V, 162Q, and I'm still waiting on the AWA but I figure it's got be higher this time. My essays were a lot better this time. So, I'm wondering, should I just report my second scores, since they were higher, or should I report both scores, since my verbal was slightly higher the first time? I've heard that some literature programs only care about the verbal anyway? Thanks for any thoughts!
BeatrizBear Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 If it's literature then yeah, they'll look at the verbal more than the math.
GeoDUDE! Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I think the 4 points of Q are more important that the 1 point of V, even in a literature program (though I don't know). I think there is very little difference between a 168 and 169, but a large difference between a 158 and a 162. 330 is an impressive score.
