Hi everyone. just need people’s opinion about this darn test.
here are my stats.

Undergrad CUM GPA: 3.6
PREREQ GPA: 3.6 (PTCAS)


GRE: 149 Q 148 V, 297 combined 4 AW

I really need some honest advice on what I really should do. I do not know if I should spend the amount of money to retake the test and I really don’t need to. Just want some opinions. Thank you
🙁

Hard to say. You'll def. get in somewhere if you're strategic on where you apply. Depends where you want to get in. If you're shooting for an in-state program w/ in-state tuition & it's competitive I could see the GRE holding you back some...

You have a good GPA and strong observation hours in multiple settings. Your 297 score is close to the 300 average for accepted at many schools. 4.0 AW should be fine. If you have specific programs that you want to apply to I would contact them and see what they say about your GRE scores. The application deadlines are getting close at most schools so there may not be time to retake and get your new scores submitted. Most schools have a latest date to take the GRE posted on PTCAS. I personally would go ahead and apply with what you have unless you're applying to schools with late deadlines. Just my opinion.
