Quick question about GRE scores

[ppham27]

I'm looking to apply to top Math/CS programs next fall. I just got back my GRE scores.

 

VR: 164 (93%)

QR: 170 (99%)

AW: 4.0 (49%)

 

I get the impression that they are mostly used as a cutoff. I am mainly concerned about the AW score. Is it too low? I could probably stand to bring my VR score up as well since I was scoring 165+ on practice tests, but it's probably high enough already that it doesn't matter.

Your scores are good enough for any CS program. Improving your scores any further won't make a difference, so spend your time focusing on other parts of your application. Oh, and congrats on your great GRE score!

Nice. That's reassuring. CMU is pretty high on my list.
