Hey, I am applying for PhD programs in statistics. I am getting worried about my GRE score. I got V156 (71%), Q 166(92%) and W 4.0 (56%) and I know they are not very good. I wonder how important the GRE score is admission. Will my score negatively affect my chance of getting into graduate programs in general? Look forward to replies and Thanks in advance.
