When are you applying next year? If so, you have time and I would say, yes. Your GPA's are strong and you wouldn't want anything to hold you back from being competitive. You should check the minimum GRE scores desired for the programs you want to attend.

agreed. no doubt the test stinks to prep for & take but I'd retake if you're applying for the next cycle. 50th percentile on all sections is a good goal. note: 4.0 AW is 48th percentile

I applied to one school for this next summer. I will be applying for next year if I don't get in.

Hey here are my stats thus far, my GRE scores, IMHO, resisted me from getting into most of the schools I applied to. I would retake it mainly because the AW isn't a 4 or above. But I have received an interview and acceptance.
