Dear fellow scientists, I am curious to know whether I should retake the GRE to get into a good PhD program? I just completed my first semester of my masters. I spoke to a PhD student at Berkeley who stated that graduate programs are not emphasizing the GRE so much anymore, however I do not think this is the case, as I was denied acceptance to UNR for my masters since my scores were not at least a 1200. I want to get a PhD in either comparative biology, invertebrate zoology, or marine biology. I am not sure, which PhD programs I will be applying to. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Carissa Shipman
