150 verbal 148 quantitative...4yrs biotech experience...3.5GPA..good enough?

Hello, 

 

   I am obviously NOT a good standardized test taker. I don't plan to go to a very prestigious graduate school...(ivy league..etc)..I want get into the field of environmental science and research. I was wondering if this is considered an ok score. I have yet to get my essay score yet. I would just like everyone's opinion on this. My major GPA was 3.5..overall at UCSD was a 3.2. Have 4 years of experience of environmental lab work at a biotech company. What are the chances of me getting into a cal state school? I am considering San Francisco State..but they dont show a criteria for gre scores.

That quant is a little scary for the sciences. Arts, humanities, I'd be like "meh, write a great SOP."

 

I'd suggest focusing on your test taking skills and retake. Seriously, find and learn how to take the test, not on the content. Just need to be able to find the right answer, not actually calculate the right answer.
