    jpmangogg got a reaction from iExcelAtMicrosoftPuns in How low do GREs need to warrant an explantion in SOP?   
    I'm applying to a statistics ms program.
     
    My GRE scores are 150V/161Q
     
    I'm not going to retake because it would be a waste of money. I have a 4.0 gpa in my undergrad in a related field. My quant score is around the average scores in my program. 
     
    My V score is about 44%. But it's V so I don't even think it really matters that much in my program. I'm a domestic student, so I can fluently speak english. I was in advanced placement English classes in high school and would say I can efficiently write, read, and speak in English. I don't think that the GRE verbal test is very indicative of my abilities. (In what situations would I need to know the definition of those ridiculous words? If by some stretch of the imagination it does show up somewhere, that's what dictionaries are for.)  I've heard a lot of people say that the GRE tests how well you take the GRE, not actually the things they are testing. 
     
    Anyways, do I need to address a 150V score on my sop? I feel like I would just want to rant about how unnecessary it is and how it is not a good indicator of what I am capable of.
