CatSun Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Hello! I just took my GRE this week and my score is: Verbal 162, Quant 165. I am an international student and my TOEFL is 114. I am going to college in the U.S. (GPA 4.0/4.0, senior currently) and I am applying to Ph.D. programs in economics. I was wondering what types of schools is my GRE score competitive for? And should I retake my GRE? I believe I can get a much higher score in Quant if I retake my GRE. I spent most of my time studying verbal because I thought that is my weakness and that Math is easy. However retaking it means I will have less time to do my honor thesis, which is arguably more important. Other facts about myself: I am currently the project manager for a behavioral economics research project with a professor in the department (after having worked for a year on the project). The professor holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University. I am also doing my Honors Thesis in economics. I am pursuing a B.S. in Economics and a B.A. in Math. Some advanced courses I have taken/am taking are Real Analysis, Topology, Advanced Probability/Statistics, Ph.D. level advanced Microeconomic Theory (a 2-part sequence, we cover choice theory, consumer/producer theory, Game Theory, market equilibrium, information economics/mechanism design), and a master's level course in Macroeconomic Theory. I appreciate any opinion/advice you have regarding my GRE score, my overall competitiveness, and advice on which schools to apply/tips on applications. Thank you very much in advance! Lily Nguyen 1
