GRE scores for engineering application

[CanadianBanjo]

Hi all,

I am applying for a PhD position in Stanford Energy Resources Engineering, and I have two GRE score sets to choose from for my application:

(1) Quant 162 / Verbal 157 / AW 5

(2) Quant 162 / Verbal 165 / AW 4.5

Its basically a trade off of verbal versus AW. Note that the average score percentile is higher for (2)

Maybe I should be applying for a program in the humanities ... :/

I have a high GPA from my undergrad and masters that I hope can buffer a lowish quant score.

Let me know what you guys think!

For engineering I think the ranking of importance is Q > V > AW. Given that your Q is the same, and your V is much better in the second one while your AW in your first choice is just a bit higher, I'd choose the second one to report.

The second one for sure. Most programs weigh AW the least, so a 0.5 difference won't matter.

Definitely second
