I just finished taking the GRE. My score is as follows: Q-168 V-163 A- Pending Total: 331 Should I be re-taking the GRE, aiming for at least 335 and a perfect score in quant. Or would the difference not affect my chances significantly? Is there any cohort (Top10, Top20, Top 30 so on) of grad schools where I am now more likely to be rejected or would these scores not much more difference on my admissions than a score upwards of 335? (I'm an international applicant). Any advice on whether retaking and attaining higher scores would improve my chances or not shall be appreciated very much.

Hello everyone, I go to a large state school that doesnt offer Economics Ph.D. However, I also live really close to a top 10 Econ department. They offer a great deal of courses that my college doesn't offer, including Behavioral Economics, etc. And most of the courses are taught by top faculty as well. Do you think attending a couple of courses there this fall would increase my chances of getting into a better Ph.D program, assuming that I do well and ask a professor to write me a letter of rec? The downside: the tuition for a visiting student (one course) is over 5000, which is more than I pay for full tuition for one semester at my school Thank you!
