<p>I just took the GRE. I got a 710 in Verbal which is 98th percentile. So I'm happy with that. However, I also got a 620 in Math which was around a 56th percentile. I haven't taken any math in college and it was never my strong point to begin with. I feel like I have a good package in terms of GPA and recommendations. Do you think this math score will negatively affect my chances at top schools like Georgetown and Johns Hopkins? I am going into International Affairs so it's not like I will use much math anyway. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>I took the GRE and got a 720Q, and a 590V. I was testing at 780-800 for Q but did not finish the last 3 questions on test day.
I don’t know what to tell you. I emailed asking if my Q was too low (I dont think they care about the V or writing very much) and was told I may want to retake it if I feel I can score higher. However, they emphasised that the Personal Statement and resume mean more than the scores/lrecommendations and prior econ experience is a plus with a weak Q score.
I majored in Business economics and accounting and have plenty of Econ so I think I am fine,
if you have prior econ courses with good grades that will help you.</p>
