Thank you for your reply Monochrome and iphi. However, many of the schools that I am applying to only accepts one GRE score. So sending both scores is not a feasible option for me. Furthermore, I am actually on the verge of completing my application for Fall 2014 Admission, so I won't have time to retake my GRE. Sorry for not including this information before. Again, thank you for your thoughts, I really appreciate it.

Hello everyone. I graduated from the University of Michigan with Psychology and Communication Studies degree. I am planning to apply to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) master's degree and Information Science master's degree. For those of who do not know, HCI is an interdisciplinary field, combining mainly computer science, cognitive psychology, and design. I have two GRE scores and I have trouble deciding which one to send for my application. Score 1: Verbal: 158 (78%) / Quantitative: 165 (91%) / Writing: 4.0 (58%) Score 2: Verbal: 162 (89%) / Quantitative: 161 (81%) / Writing: 4.5 (78%) These two scores have the same combined verbal and quantitative scores, but the second score has slightly higher writing score. I know many of you are probably thinking that second score is obviously better. But the only reason why I am still struggling is because my major was in psychology and communications and I have no coursework involving quantitative skills. So I figured the only way for me to prove my competency in quantitative skill is through GRE. And from this perspective, Score 1 looks like a better option. However, Score 2 looks more balanced in all three sections. Please share your thoughts on my score please. Please let me know if there is any other information that I may provide to help you understand my situation better. Thank you so much.
