<p>Well, the GRE isn’t terribly important. What I implied was that it could’ve been ideal if you had at least 4.0 for writing and near 800 on the quant, for the tip top schools you were applying.</p>
<p>As for where to go should you get rejected by MIT, it all depends on where you want work presumably. What’s your reason to obtain a PhD in chemical engineering?</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
