DPDT

I got my official results 5 business days after my test! There is a chance of getting them by that date.

Hello guys, I'm an international undergrad in my fourth year at a university in Canada. I'm currently studying biomed physics. I'm planning to apply for grad school to start in Fall 2016. I've just got my GRE score report. Verbal: 141 (I knew it before but I've just realized how bad it is) Quantitative: 162 Analytical: 4.0 I did NOT really study for it to be honest. I just read some analytical essays examples and watched some youtube videos hoping to get some vocabulary in, during about two weeks before taking the test. As a physics major, I'm good at math and I think I could do better if I took it seriously, but for VERBAL I have no hope. I'm really bad at comprehending subject areas other than physics and all what I usually read is scientific papers from biophysics journals. My dream WAS to apply to Duke university and Georgia Tech Medical Physics Master programs but now I'm so frustrated with these scores I got. I have other Canadian schools in mind that don't require GRE. I'm currently not planning to take the GRE again because I don't have time to study for it and I know I won't do better at verbal. Do you think it's a waste of time to apply to any university with these scores? should I stick to applying to only Canadian universities? I actually just want to move to the US because I'm so tired of Canada's weather and if I chose to apply to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver where the weather is nicer, I'm not sure if I'll get in, it is so competitive. My current UGPA is 84% which I guess equivalent to about 3.7 according to my university website (but not sure since the conversion info I found is too old). I can get good letters of recommendations because I'm hard working and my profs know it but I'm just not into anything that is not science related which is why I didn't study for verbal. TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I don't want to go back to my country of citizenship (middle east) I really hate it there and I can't stay in Canada with no job or university offer of admission. . Any suggestions would be appreciated.
