I was hoping to apply to Colorado at Boulder and Northwestern for Journalism, but I feel like I did pretty poorly on the GRE.

I have four years of work experience in journalism and currently act the EIC of Canada's largest and only daily student newspaper, overseeing a $400,000 budget and 23 full-time editors. I have a GPA of 3.7, and have received a number of awards from my university. However, I'm prone to bad episodes of anxiety and ended up with a Q: 150 and V: 158. I would have liked my verbal to be higher, but accept that I generally suck at math so the low score wasn't a surprise. On the ETS practice tests I was getting around 166 verbal.

Do you think this is good enough for acceptance/assistanships at Boulder? And I kind of assumed this would put me out of the running for Northwestern, but does anyone think I should still bother applying? It seems like they put a lot of emphasis on the GRE.
