MA in IR/MPA. How to put my app together...

<p>Alright, what do you guys think. I took the GRE and scored a 720Q and 590V. I was testing around 600V, so I wasnt too surprised by that score, however I was testing at 780-800 on Quant. On the test day I ran out of time and didnt finish the last 3 questions, which lowered my score. </p>

<p>I have a 3.54 undergraduate GPA from UCSB with majors in Business Economics and Communication. </p>

<p>I have about 1.5 years of work experience and I spent the last year traveling and doing volunteer work in Asia. </p>

<p>My letters of rec. are coming from the former head of the communications department, a supervisor at the wealth management firm I worked at, and a supervisor from the software sales company I worked at.</p>

<p>I wasn't too worried about the GRE score, until I got the writing score today. I got a 4.0 out of 6.0. I never studied on the essays which is reflected in my score, and now I feel like an idiot for not reviewing the essays more.</p>

<p>Would you suggest retaking the GRE to boost the Q score and the writing? I am applying to programs such as SIPA, SAIS, NYU, etc...</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Anyone? Thanks!</p>
