Retake GRE?

Published

So, here's my scoop:

GRE: Quantitative - 640; Verbal - 460; Writing 4

GPA: 3.73 BSN Program

Started work in level one cardiac-surgical ICU in June 2007 (right after I graduated)

Two awesome LORs.

I'm 22. I'm taking graduate level Advanced Physiology/Pathophysiology and am planning on taking a Medical Biochemistry class this summer, possibly finish up my year of physics (completed one term of it in the middle of nursing school). I just sent my application to Barry University, and I guess I am FREAKING out.

Should I retake my GRE to up my verbal score? I know I can do better than that, I just got a little behind on time and I knew it was my weak area so I started rushing through it.

Any words of wisdom or relaxation for that matter? Does anyone know when/how Barry University contacts you for interviews? Early acceptance deadline is Feb. 1, but it is KILLING ME!!!

There's nothing I want more than this. I'm completely ready to throw myself into the monster that is anesthesia school.

Stop worrying ............ your stats are good. I would not retake the GRE. I have seen MANY get into Barry with less stellar stats.

Specializes in Anesthesia.

I agree. I'm in Barry's program right now. My stats are pretty close to yours and I was accepted.

Good luck with your interview, send me a PM if I can answer any Barry specific questions for you.

Ditto! I agree with the other posters...no need to retake the GRE. Learn all you can at the bedside. Good luck...
