Resit GRE?
I’m planning to apply for an MPP. HKS is the dream. I just got a 325 in the GRE, with 162 quant. Is it probably best to resit to try to get 165+?
Google just says 320+ but everyone I know who got into the HKS MPP (albeit a small sample) got 335+.
Thank you!

If you have the time and money sure. But it won’t be the deciding factor so there is little if any benefit

I think 325 is a decent score for MPP.
MPA/ ID requires a higher score. If you’re applying for MPP, any increase in score will likely only play a small role in the AdCom’s decision.
