105/120 should i retake?

by sirisha.g » Tue Oct 19, 2010 9:44 pm
Hello,

I got a score of 105. splits are as follows
Reading-25(expected because 1 RC was tricky)
Listening-28
speaking-27
writing-25(really upset)

Is 105 score acceptable.

I wanted to apply to schools like lancaster, imperial, emory, tepper, darden and oxford. i am very upset with the writing task because i felt that i wrote really well. made lot of good points and length was around 360 words. i am a bit confused. should i retake? kindly advice

Congrats for the score! I think 105 is enough for most schools out there (I believe only Harvard asks for at least a 110), so I would spend my time on improving other aspects of my application!
