You'll be fine I'm sure! Low GRE Verbal doesn't carry much weight. -

Does anyone know how many people get waitlisted / make it off the waitlist at Yale? -
Does anyone have an idea of how many people make/are taken off the waitlist at Yale (master's)?

I think you've got a good shot if you get good letters of recommendation and do really well on the GRE 155+ in verbal and 168 + in quantitative. However, I would encourage you apply to Master programs to give yourself a better a shot at getting into a top tier school. I'd recommend apply Master's for top 10 and PhD for 10 - 25

Low Verbal (150) Should I Retake GRE?

Low Verbal (150) Should I Retake GRE?
jswizzle48 replied to Onsemiro's topic in Mathematics and Statistics
Hey Onsemiro, If you didn't put in studying time, definitely re-take it. If you put in a lot and you don't see copious amounts of time in the future to study, don't re-take it. Your Q score is good: I think a lot programs have the cut off around 150 for Verbal. -

Hello John. Honestly, your profile is solid. Most statistic programs just check to see that your GRE Verbal score is not abysmally low. Anything about 70th percentile + doesn't warrant extra scrutiny. As with all top schools, you'll need some luck on your side. However, I think that you are a strong applicant. Your analytical writing score is a bit weak, but since you're an international student, make sure your letters of recommendation and personal statement are crisp. I would also encourage you to apply to some "safe" schools! Don't go and work just because you didn't get into a top program Best of luck!
