730 Q - 490 V - 5.5 AW

[punk123]

So as you can see, my quant was decent but I bombed the verbal section. Do you think that my decent AW can make up for it in any way?

I took it a second time and I scored 630 Q and 560 V and I am not sure about the AW yet. I think I just neglected the quant the second time because I was so focused on improving my verbal.

It is a clinical psychology program in case you are wondering.

looks decent to me, but it totally depends on the school I think. Also, your other parts of the application would probably matter in deciding how much emphasis to put on GRE scores.

A very generalized observation is: applicants put in a lot more time and effort on GREs when they should really focus on research/recommendation letters/essays etc.

Some departments at MIT don't even need GRE.

? Your verbal is on the same level and your quantitative.

Most people do terrible on the verbal, the average score is like 500. Your Q is also a bit average as well I'd say, that would be the part I'm more concerned about..
