gradcha Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hi all,I have just taken my GRE and got the unoffical scores of Q:168 and V:145. I must admit that the verbal score was expected since my native language in not English. Anyways, to prove the language proficieny I have taken TOEFL and scored 111 which is a decent score in my opinion. I am planning to have my masters in the field of civil engineering and apply to top tier universities such as MIT,Stanford,UC Berkeley etc. So, I would like to ask you if I need to retake the GRE to improve my verbal score or just stick with this one since the TOEFL is above average for the programs I am applying? Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaykaykay Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 yes. you are competing with native speakers with the GRE and if something they take non native speakers' scores more seriously. I am not sure why they even ask for TOEFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
