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?
