Should I retake GRE (Business Econ & Strategy)

Fellow grad school hopefuls,

So I came out with the following GRE scores 780Q,650V,5.5AWA

I'm wondering whether to retake especially because verbal score seems low especially for US applicant. Also, wondering if I should try to get that 800Q.

What do you think?


Don't particularly want to sit through it again but will do it if the current score harms my chances.

My profile is below if it helps:

Undergrad: NYU, 3.8GPA, Econ & Math major
Math Classes: Calc I-III, Linear Algebra, Math Modeling (A), Probability, Stats (A-), Real Analysis I-II (B)
Econ: All the standard ones
Potential Schools & Programs: HBS Business Econ, Stanford Econ Analy & Policy, Wharton Applied Econ, NYU Strategy, Haas Business & Public Policy, Kellogg Managerial Econ & Strategy, Ross Internation Busines & BE, BU Strategy & Policy, etc.

I think it is a good score, and I wouldn't retake it.

if you need to retake, then I surely need to retake.....Mine is much lower than yours, especially in the AW part. It is crazy thinking that I need to retake this stupid exam.

AW and V are not so important, and unless you got a very low score, it wouldn't make much sense to retake it.
