I am applying to schools such as Ohio State, IU-Bloomington, Penn state...
I took the general GRE last month and scored 600 Verbal 480 Quant and 5.0 Analytical. I was fairly well prepared (scored 680 V, 770 Q on PowerPrep software) but walked into the testing center with flu-like symptoms (apparently not flu). I have strong letters, good research with publications and a 3.8 GPA.
Is this low score going to severely hurt my chances? I loathe to shell out another $160 - particularly to ETS. Also, at this point, the earliest I can take the GRE is the 20th, so the institutions wouldn't receive the scores until early February.
Thanks.
