<p>From what I've heard, at the top schools score above 750Q and 500V, and they won't care, i.e. you'll gain very little from scoring higher. Score below 750Q or 500V, and you'll raise red flags.</p>

<p>Scores do matter a lot and if you are an international high score is a key to admission. If you want to target a good school, try building your profile like good GPA, projects in undergrad, great reco etc. A good GRE score is always icing on cake. But, getting the average score will not guarantee you admission.

<p>Hmm, I wonder if kim is saying GRE scores matter a lot because she has a website to support?</p>

<p>GREs don’t matter a lot, unless you do poorly. Engineering schools aren’t going to care about the verbal section and if you’re going to an engineering school, you shouldn’t have a problem scoring very highly on the quantitative section.</p>
