Hi

I am majoring in mathematics in undergraduate (international), and I will apply to PhD programs in Operations Research(especially related to financial engineering).
On the process of applying, I should decide the GRE score to be sent but it is hard for me to pick one between two scores as the following.

153 / 170 / 3.0
150 / 169 / 3.5

I want to know which score looks better...
Or is it better to send both scores???

Please give me some wise solutions!!!

I do have a similar problem, but more so to do with V and AWA. I am aiming for applied math.
V / Q/ A
GRE1 : 149/170/4.0
GRE2 : 155/170/3.0

Personally I am planning to send both the scores to the Institutions and enter both the scores wherever the colleges allow for multiple score entries in the application.

Rest as people describe , the overall result depends on the reco, gpa and the SOP.

If you are an international student, I think the first one is better~

thx for comments!
then, do you mean that sending only the first one is better than sending both of them???
