Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his GRE exam.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great Gre guide that helped me a lot
So study hard and good luck!
For Creative Writing MFA programs, the GRE is not the most important part of the application, but for the schools that request it, the score still matters. The schools I want to go to say most of their successful applicants have a 600 Verbal score and a 5 Writing score. I have a 580 Verbal and 4.5 Writing, so I’m right below the mark. Should I take the GRE again, or should I concentrate my efforts on other parts of the application?

The answer for you will depend upon whether the rest of your application will appear proportionally above average for students that are accepted and whether you are willing to take (and pay for) the extra english or lit. classes you’ll be required to take for (what that school considers) the sub standard score if you are accepted.
