Subject: GRE Quant 750 enough for MPA/ID at HKS?

Hey guys, I will be applying to the MPA in International Development at HKS. I got 750, 83% percentile in GRE quant, do you think it is enough, or should I retake?

I read on the admissions page that 80th percentile is competitive, but will my application just get through the cutoff but not be competitive enough? I have heard that many admitted students usually have 800 on GRE quant.

Please advice me, thanks!!

I got 600 on verbal, but I'm an international student, so I've heard that the verbal part does not matter at all, at least for the MPA/ID where 70% of the class is international and from developing countries. Even if students have a low verbal, most of them have very very high scores on quant.

What matters is quant and many students have 800.

So should I retake and try to get at least 780? Please advice!!
