I will be applying direct PhD in mechanical engineering.
Verbal: 160
Quant: 159
I'm concerned about my quant score. I got hung up on a couple really tough problems and it cost me a lot of time. I definitely don't think I performed to the best of my abilities.
My target schools are UC Berkeley, Stanford, GA Tech, Michigan, Purdue
My other qualifications are 3.76 GPA, I did an REU last summer at Purdue (I'm not from Purdue), and I have a paper on the way with research I did as an independent study last year. My paper will likely not be submitted before I apply to grad school though. My LOR's should be fairly strong.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
