USC Sol Price Admission

<p>I took the GRE yesterday and, unfortunately, I received mediocre scores (V150 Q145). However, I don't know if I misinterpreted the statistics that the Sol Price school has issued on its website, but they want a 153 on the verbal and a 144 on the quantitative. Of course, my verbal scores are about 3 points away from what they are looking for, but everything else, e.g., gpa, letters of rec, statement of purpose, is above average. My GPA is 3.45 (3.73 last two years); I have excellent letters of recommendation (at least the two that I have seen); relevant internship experience (1 year); and I believe my statement of purpose is above average. My question to you guys is, do you think that all these other pertinent and crucial stats can mitigate my subpar verbal score? Keep in mind that I was only a couple of questions away from getting a 153 (I believe it was 4 questions). Thanks!</p>
