<p>So I just took my GRE yesterday afternoon, and I was extremely disappointed to find that my score estimates were 151 verbal and a 146 quant at the end of the test. I studied for months, but still couldn't quite conquer a lot of the quant stuff because I wasn't even taught half of the material in school. I'm pretty bummed about my scores, but I'm not exactly rushing to put myself through that 4 hours of hell again if I don't have to either. </p>
<p>So, I'm wondering, with a ~3.5GPA (will probably be higher by the time I graduate),151/146 GRE scores (writing score unknown as of now) and some stunning letters of recommendation, do you think I'd still have a shot at getting in to some of the good psychology PhD programs in Michigan without having to retake the GRE? (UM-Ann Arbor, Wayne State, etc?)</p>
<p>I'm doing my last couple of semesters of undergrad at UM-Dearborn now, and I'm planning on getting an internship and (hopefully) research experience in the field before I graduate to give me an extra boost too. As an added bonus, I have also completed minors in both Music and German, which I've been told by professors that will look impressive on applications, considering it takes a lot of cognitive ability to learn and speak a foreign language fluently, and the same applies to music as well.</p>
<p>Do you think I should retake the GRE though? I'm a little hesitant to retake it, as I honestly never had any math classes past basic geometry in high school, and have only had to take statistics in college, so the quant section is absolute hell for me. I'm just not sure if programs will weigh everything equally, or if they will see those low scores and throw my application out the window right away. I'm so scared and frustrated about it.</p>
<p>I want to hear your opinions and your GRE experiences. Did you have "average" scores, yet still get into a good program? Or do you know someone that did? Do you think my chances are alright now, or should I go for a retake? I appreciate any insight you could give me! :)</p>
