I have an undergrad degree from one of the top-10 CS programs, and am planning to apply for MS in Computer Science.

I have two GRE scores:
1. V: 152 (54%)  Q: 167 (94%) AW: 3.0 (15%)
2. V: 154 (63%) Q: 162 (83%) AW: 3.5 (38%)

Which one do you guys think I should use?

Thanks

I suggest #1, as I think the Q score is the most important of the three in this field. If you demonstrate high fluency in your written material, and/or your recommenders highlight situations where you have demonstrated excellent communication skills, that may alleviate concerns about your low V and AW.

Also, if you can, ask a faculty member on the MSCS application review committee at your home institution how they react to getting scores like yours (or ask your academic advisor to ask them).

Definitely number 1. They'll really only care about Q, and your quant score is fantastic.
