GRE for top 10 program in Econ

[Random guys]

I know GRE doesn't play that much of a role in the admission process. However, schools like Stanford would state on their websites that a typical successful candidate would be in the 90th percentile (Q). Let's say if I'm in 86th percentile(Q) should I even bother applying?

Thank you

If the rest of your application is strong, I'd believe that they could ignore 4% on a single standardized test. It's not like you're far from the goal. It's also important to notice that they wrote "typical successful candidate." This means that normally the candidates have a score that's around the 90th percentile, but not always.
