GRE scores for top Eng schools

[blj192]

I recently took the GRE and received 166 V, 166 Q. This puts me in a comfortable range for verbal, but just barely in the top 10% for quantitative. I am looking at several top ranked engineering grad schools for ME/BME (biomechanics focus) - namely Harvard, MIT, Stanford. Should I retake to try and get 1 or 2 more math questions right or is it not worth the effort?

I had 166 Q, 169 V, 3.5 AWA (still no idea what happened there, since I'm generally a strong writer), and I got into all the BME PhD programs I applied to (including Harvard). Once you get to that point, I don't think 1-2 points difference on the GRE are going to make a huge difference. The other parts of your application will matter much more than GRE score at that point. (GPA, letters of recommendation, etc.)
