<p>I am doing Political Science so I am not sure I can completely answer your question. IF you only recieved a 480 Verbal and 3.5 Writing and you are a native English speaker, you really should retake the GRE because those scores are a red flag for any admissions program. Your other credentials look pretty good. Go to US News and World Report and probably take the schools numbering 21 and below for best graduate programs economics and you can probably start there on your search.</p>
