Hey friends,

Just wanted to hear all of your thoughts on my situation. I just retook the GRE today and scored significantly higher than the first time I took it. I have an interview on Sunday and I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to mention my higher score to the interviewer since the official scores haven't been sent to any of the programs yet?

Any thoughts?

Absolutely! you earned it, bring it up in a way that doesn't come off as arrogant.

Awesome! Thanks, I just really wanted to hear some reassurance... don't want to screw up the interview 🙂
 
Yes, the interviewers will usually say something like "anything else you would like to say" at the end. So if you can't work it in before, bring it up then. I think it's important!!
