Low GRE - V155, Q142 applying to Harvard, Columbia SIPA among others

[Arye214]

Do I have any chance? My letters will be good, my GPA is 3.62.

Honestly I think you should retake. You need at least a 310 total for those universities.

Echoing applemiu. Retake, man. You won't get into those schools with those scores. 

 

For comparison, I'm applying for communications programs (so not STEM by any means), and at Stanford their lowest scores in last year's admit class were 155 for each V and Q.
