spicysalmonroll Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Hey guys, Getting right to the point, I took the GRE today and got V-164, Q-166 for a total of 330. I'm planning to apply to top PhD programs in political science. In my opinion, the score (esp verbal) isn't anything phenomenal but it's not bad either. I went to a top Ivy for undergrad (graduated summa cum laude, PBK), and I want to see whether retaking the GRE would be worth the effort/time. My understanding is that the avg verbal score for top Poli Sci programs is 165+ so I'm wondering how important a benchmark that actually is. Thoughts?
PoliticalOrder Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 Your score is excellent. No need to retake. resDQ and Determinedandnervous 2
