Hello everyone! I am in need of a little advice!

I just took the GRE and scored Q670, V550. Should I retake the GRE?? I was admittedly under-prepared and I know I can improve my quant score.

I am applying to Ag Econ programs and my top choice is Maryland. I realize this is a very competitive program and my quant score should be higher, but the rest of my application is strong.

I already have an M.S. in Resource Econ with solid research experience. I also have teaching experience (undergrad statistics) and 4 years work experience in a government statistical agency. LOR's, SOP and GPA (undergrad and grad) are great.

If I retake the GRE at the beginning of January, I believe I can still make Jan 15 and later deadlines. However, I would rather not retake them if I don't have to...

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!
