Should I Re-take my GRE?

[flamesavour]

Hi, 

I want to get into a funded PhD program at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. I have 161 in GRE Quant (163 Verbal, 4.5 AWA). I want to know if I should take the GRE again and get a better quant score, or if this would be enough for me to clear the cut-off. Can anyone tell me?

I have a master's degree from The University of Manchester, UK, with a 2:1 merit (GPA 3.6) and two papers (one published, one communicated) in international journals.

As per the criteria mentioned on LSUs website, your profile seems to fulfil most of the criteria. So you have fair chances of getting into LSU to do your desired course. However, getting a fully funded PhD also depends on your SOP, LOR and other records.

Try to network with the alumni and professors in LSU to get more information. You could connect with them via LInkedIn, Email, Skype or other social media platforms.
