Should I retake GRE?

[Leie]

Hello everyone.

 

I have plan to apply top CS ph.d programs in this year for Fall 2015.

Recently, I got gre scores as follows (V:150, Q:160, AW: not availble in current, I exepct over 3.0)

 

I think that the Verbal score is too low to get admission from top ph.d programs.

So, I wonder that I have to retake GRE test one more again.

 

Is there any person who give me guidance about above?

 

Below lists are the candidate school to apply.

- Carnegie Mellon University

- University of California, Berkely

- University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

- University of Pennsylvania

- Cornell University

- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

- University of Texas, Austin

- University of Virginia

- University of Maryland, College Park

- Washington University in St. Louis

 

Thanks and Regards

Leie

The scores could be good enough if the rest of your application is really strong, except for CMU and UC Berkeley.

 

However, if you have time, definitely try to retake the test. It is so easy to study for it and you cannot do worse because of ScoreSelect.

I got a Q:165 V:160 AW:3.5 Worried that my writing score is too low. I think I'll retake to try and get my quant and writing up.
