GRE for Phd

[such777]

I'm applying phd in second language education now.

Undergraduate gap: 3.15

graduate gap: 3.81

GRE: 148+157.3(I took it two years ago)

publication: 2 paper

Because my gre is a little bit low, do I need to take it again?

Your Quant is really good for education programs. Verbal is quite a bit low and writing is a little low.

It really does depend on which "tier" of school you apply to, but most usually want around 155-157 verbal, 153-155 quant, and a 4 in writing. Most schools for my education program used a holistic evaluation of the fit of the applicant to their program. Because you UGRAD and GRAD GPA is pretty good, they may overlook less than average GRE scores. Just depends on the school.
