<p>so im kind of upset today...i took the gre and scored a 560 on the math and a 460 on the verbal (i know the verbal is poor) so overall, a 1020</p>
<p>I am applying to masters programs in Spanish. I just came back from Spain for the first time in 11.5 months, and i think taking the test in English so soon kinda threw me off guard.</p>
<p>I have great references, study abroad, good gpa, etc.
I know my scores aren't great, but if my master programs are in Spanish, is it worth trying to bring my verbal up? I still don't have the writing but I am positive I did well on that section. I am looking at Saint Louis University-Madrid, NYU-Madrid, Middlebury (dont require GRES), and American University (Latin American Studies).</p>
<p>Again, I know they are poor, and I really don't want to retake them, but if I have to I will. Are GREs everything? :(</p>
<p>GREs are worth very little once your application has been passed from the graduate school to the department. With a 1020 you may not get your application passed to the department. I would seriously consider retaking it.</p>
<p>Just to let you know, even though the verbal was bad, I just got my writing score...5/6! :)</p>
<p>GRE 560 + 460 is good enough for many colleges. but, I'm not what kind of colleges do you plan tot get admission. Look at the minimum GRE Requirements for admission in the school you plan to apply.</p>
<p>Importance</a> of GRE Scores</p>
<p>If the minimum requirements is 900+ or say 1000, you have good chance to get admission. Having said that, GRE is not the only factor considered for admission.</p>
<ul>
<li>Recommendation Letter</li>
<li>Statement of Purpose ( Statement</a> of Purpose : Complete Guide )</li>
<li>Resume</li>
</ul>
<p>all plays equal part in get you admission.</p>
