So I am about to start applying to PT school. My GRE score was a 152V/154Q/4.0AW. My question is if it is worth taking it again. My GPA is a 3.66 with also a 3.66 in my science courses. I have over 250 hours of experience in three different settings, a few extracurriculars and a personal training certification. Retaking the GRE will most certainly delay my application (next available date is mid august). So what are your thoughts? Should I take it again? Or am i well rounded enough that my score wold be sufficient?

There are a lot of threads about this same topic already. This is your first post, so search around and you'll find so many helpful answers, which will be more helpful than just making a new thread and getting only a few replies. This depends on which schools you are interested in, and what their average stats are. You're above the minimum requirements for most schools, so it's not necessary for you to take it again.

Unless you are sure you could achieve a SIGNIFICANT improvement (ie there were out of the ordinary circumstances during test time), I don't think it's worth it. Generally, I've seen people only improve their scores a point or 2. If you don't meet the minimums or averages somewhere than maybe, but if you studied for it and meet the minimums I would focus on other areas in your application. Agree with above, you need to research your specific schools.
