Just got my GRE results and got 150V 143Q and a 5.0 in the writing section.
Debating whether or not to retake the gre because of my quant score

I meet the exact minimum score for the quant section for the school I really want to go to (FGCU).

The other parts of my application are pretty good. My gpa is a 3.6, 600+ observation hours in 3 separate settings, 4 LOR (3 OT, 1 advisor).

What do you all recommend?

For most schools I applies to, they did not really consider the quant section and placed more emphasis on verbal and writing. So I would not retake it since you got such great scores and as long as you meet the minimum for quant I think you are fine. Not to mention, you have great stats.

I got almost the exact same score except I'm one point below your verbal! Personally I think you're fine I'm not retaking it haha
