<p>Teachers recs. are really good because I worked in 2 of their labs. other is calculus- differential equations teacher which I aced the course.</p>
<p>Research:
-did research in 2 labs @Uconn
-Summer internship at a Civil Engineering Firm.
-wrote a published article </p>
<p>Should I retake the GRE to get it over 1450 or does it not really matter I know I could probably get a: 800 Q, 660 R and a 5W but does it matter for these schools:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cornell University (top choice)</li>
<li>Johns Hopkins University </li>
<li>Columbia University (Fu)</li>
<li>Dartmouth University</li>
<li>Brown University</li>
<li>Tufts University
7.University of Notre Dame</li>
<li>Boston University</li>
</ol>
<p>Please tell me where my weaknesses are as far as my Stats are concerned....</p>
<p>Your GRE scores are fine. Absolutely no need to retake them. </p>
<p>What part of civil engineering do you plan on concentrating in? I was not aware Brown or Dartmouth offered any graduate courses in this department.</p>
<p>I want to focus on construction of bridges, and roadways</p>
<p>actually now that I think about it, I never checked about brown or dartmouth because this is a really preliminary list, I still have to visit all these schools…</p>
<p>Your stats are solid and you should be competitive for any graduate program.</p>
<p>However as ken285 mentioned you need to make sure you have a focus on what specialty (Structural Engineering, Construction Management, Hydrology, etc) you want to go into.</p>
<p>Any reason all of your schools listed are in the Northeast, and then you have Notre Dame just sticking out like a sore thumb there? haha. I was unaware that anyone would really want to spend time in South Bend.</p>
