Are my scores good enough?

[marco_math]

Hello:

I took my GRE test this Wednesday and got the following raw score:

Verbal: 159

Quantitative: 168.

I was wondering how much these numbers could change after the guys at ETS do their "equating"? Also do you guys think this score is good enough for my application? I am applying to Phd programs in Applied Mathematics.

Thanks for your time .

My guess is that a 168 is sufficient. In my proposed program (English PhD) anything above a 165 in Verbal is "highly competitive." I assume it is analogous for your program in terms of a quant score.

I do, however, share your question about the "official" scores. Will they change?
