This should be stickied. Thanks for sharing.

Considering that you got a 5.0 on AW (I think that's like 80th percentile) and that your verbal is not really that low for CS, I would strongly advise against retaking it. If you had something like Yamamotomiechan's score (V:310, A:3.5), though, I would have highly recommended retaking it. Your GRE scores are more than acceptable for the top schools. You should focus on your LoR and research.

I went to UCSD, so I might be bias, but we do have a very cool Cave Automatic Virtual Environment in case you're interested in seeing your graphics programming function in a 3D environment. Students are free to use it most of the time, although if you use it at peak hours, you'll get interrupted by the tour groups. Berkeley has some 3D scanners, if you're interested in that. You should look at the papers that all three schools published and see which ones most closely matches your interests. Make sure to write about that in your statement of purpose, as well.
