growingupgrr Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginmanga Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I think it is a good score, and I wouldn't retake it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhjj Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginmanga Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 AW and V are not so important, and unless you got a very low score, it wouldn't make much sense to retake it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Vader Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 for the schools you're looking at, i would suggest going for the 800Q score. the verbal isn't so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
