Verbal: 90th percentile or higher

Quantitative: As best you can. If you're doing history of mathematics or 20th century physics, 90th percentile or higher.

Analytical Writing: 5 or higher.

Thanks for your answer. Does every university need this kind of score or there are plus/minus of that? I want to do history of biology. Thanks in advance.

Not necessarily, but if you want to attend somewhere like Harvard or Yale, it's in your interest to score over the 90th percentile on the verbal and analytical writing sections. The quantitative section is less important.
