Has anyone else with a high verbal and low quantitative score been accepted to a top humanities program? I just took the GRE and received a V770 Q430. My scores were not really surprising as I scored in the V640-800 Q380-520 on all my practise tests. This pattern is also reflected in my transcripts and undergraduate gpa which balances out to a 3.3 (excellent grades in humanities and non-econ social sciences courses and poor to near failing grades in the math/science/econ courses I was required to take). I am considering MA and Ph.d programs in History/East Asian Languages and Civilizations. Unlike my undergrad studies I should only be taking courses that speak to my strengths. How much stock do most humanities departments take in quantitative scores? Will I been hurt in admittance and fellowship chances? My overall application is strong in every aspect not related to math skills.
