Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It's my impression that EU programs are less competitive than US, providing you're an EU citizen (as I am). So I think I have good chances.

You're still not replying constructively. All I want to know is whether or not a 163 Q is an adequate score for decent CS MS programs. That's it. Telling me to "wait and see" is not constructive, nor is going on and on about 165+.

You haven't really constructively replied to my question.

Hi, I just took the GRE today and scored 161 V/163 Q. Are these scores competitive for a top 20 MS program? I only spent a couple of days preparing, so I suppose there is room to improve but I'd rather not sit through another boring 4 hour exam if it wouldn't significantly improve my chances. My undergraduate degree is in physics, from Brown, with a 3.7 GPA (I did a ton of CS/CE coursework on the side). It should probably be noted that the majority of my applications will be to European schools in the UK/Germany/Denmark. I have EU citizenship (as well as US). From what I've seen they all require (or strongly recommend) GRE scores for students with a US degree. Thanks!
