- This has become our largest and most active forum because the physics GRE is just one aspect of getting accepted into a graduate physics program.
- There are applications, personal statements, letters of recommendation, visiting schools, anxiety of waiting for acceptances, deciding between schools, finding out where others are going, etc.

My GRE scores are as follow:
Quant: 164 (88%)

Verbal: 142 (16%)

AWA: 3.0 (15%)

Physics: 860 (80%)
Provided that the rest of my profile is better than just 'ok', should I repeat the General GRE?

If MIT EECS, then no. They don't require GRE/PGRE

Why would EECS at any university require PGRE?

I don't know... but from the catastrophic results of my applications, now I know the answer of the question I asked...

YES
I think that's more due to your engineering undergrad than anything else.
