The GRE is not like the SAT. Hardly anyone gets a 1600 - particularly due to the verbal section, where a 700 score is 93rd percentile and the 99th is below 800.

Nor is it nearly as important in admissions. Your GPA is stellar, I bet you’ll have great letters of recommendation and strong writing samples. You will be fine.

One tip: extracurriculars unrelated to your field of study are totally irrelevant for graduate admissions.
