Many (maybe most?) programs look at your highest score for each section of the GRE regardless of the distribution of these scores across attempts. In other words, you should be able to submit the scores from both tests, and the program would consider your overall scores to be 161(V), 170(Q), and 4.5(W).

Claiming a last minute admit to UIUC for comparative!

I saw that posted in results and was hoping it was you that received the good news; congratulations! Best of luck to you!

I received an e-mail today notifying me that I have been wait listed at Maryland.

I'm still waiting for UIUC and Maryland

I'm very excited! I received an e-mail. I hope you get some good news in the coming days.

I received an informal notification of admission a few hours ago with a formal offer expected to be sent out later this week.

Claiming an additional Columbia rejection. I can't say I'm not a bit bummed, but at least they did not delay rejections. I can also claim acceptances at the University of Tennessee and the University of Alabama, both of which are funded offers. I'm still holding out for UIUC, Maryland, and JHU as well as a few master's programs I applied to for the sake of opportunity diversity. Congratulations to everyone who has received good news this week! For those of you that struck out, I'm certain you will find success; don't give up.

I'm still waiting on UIUC.

Really hoping I hear positive news from them in the next hour or so. They're my presumptive last best hope.

Same =/ but we still have a ways to go. Have hope my friend.

Looking at the previous cycle it seems that there were a few acceptances that came in first and then a larger batch a few days later. Maybe we still have hope

Same =/

This is hilarious; last night I dreamed I was admitted to UC-Irvine and I didn't apply there.

Just sit and listen to Say Something (I'm giving up on you) on repeat all weekend; that's what I'm doing!

I have a sneaky suspicion UT-Austin might be a little delayed due to the campus closing for winter weather in the past few weeks. I guess it just depends on how much work the AdComm was able to get done in the weeks prior. UT is a perfect fit for me, so I am anxiously awaiting their notifications to start coming in.

Just stop

Blasphemy! (But seriously, congrats! Family and personal happiness should always come first).

I have this option on the portal as well; I can't be sure but I feel as though it has been there since I first logged on. Regardless, hopefully we will hear something soon!

Finally got around to making an account (it feels good to shed my "lurker" status). For my first post, I want to say good luck to all of you in this application cycle! May all of your anticipation and anxiety turn to acceptances and funding!
