How does chemistry Adcom see the verbal score

[payel1986]

Hi all, I am a non-native english speaker from India, applying for Fall 2015 in Chemistry PhD. My GRE score is a bit low: Q 162, V 150. TOEFL and AWA pending. I was wondering how would my dangerous verbal score affect the Adcom. Can you please tell how does the chemistry Adcom prioritise the verbal score. I have four publications in Elsevier, RSC and ACS with one as the corresponding author and one as first author. I have 6 years of research experience in the R & D lab of a global FMCG company (fortune 500) and have nine filed patents here. My GPA is eqv to 4 in US scale (76% in 100 in Indian scale, I am the topper in Inorganic Chemistry). I do have numerous awards for research capability awarded by my employer. Is my profile worth it for applying to U southern california, Duke, Umass Amherst, UT austin and U llinois-Urbana? Please suggest. I am in hurry as application deadline is approaching. Thanks! Any help will be good.

Please do not double (or in your case, triple) post the same topic. It's not any more likely to get you answers. Closing all but this thread.

If you just listed that you have 9 patents, I really wouldn' worry about it. Im mean seriously, look at everything you just listed. Are you really worried about a mediocre verbal score? How does one get 9 patents in undergad anyway?

That's how.

Thanks for giving me some confidence  . I was wondering whether I should retake, but time is also very short..it would not permit retaking in any case  .
