Hi Guys! I gave my GRE a year back and scored 315 - 153 in Verbal (56th percentile) 162 in Quants (86th percentile); But I'm targeting for MS - Computer Science program in Top Schools like GeorgiaTech, UPenn, UCLA, NCSU etc... Is my GRE Score good enough? I feel I lack in Verbal a lot and also Quants a bit. Please respond on whether must I retake GRE. I will be applying for Fall'14. If I need to retake, how much should I boost my score? Also, please give me some tips to score atleast a 160 in the Verbal section. Thanks a ton in advance!

Should I retake GRE and score high in my Quants and AWA in order to increase my chances of admit in these univ.? Please help. I really prepared well for the GRE, but I was tensed during the exam and this pulled down my Verbal score drastically. Please voice out your suggestions and help me.
