I took the physics GRE and got 850 (70th percentile). My subscores were 79% classical mechanics, 77% electromagnetism, and 44% quantum mechanics.

I am applying for accelerator physics programs at top schools (Stanford, Cornell, Stony Brook, Northern Illinois, Michigan State, etc) and most have optional GRE submission policies. My GPA is just over 3.6, I have three summers of research (one at UCLA, one at Stanford, one at Cornell -- all writing letters of recommendation) and two second-author conference papers. I doubt the GRE makes much of a difference in my profile, so should I submit it?
