gre scores VS percentiles.

Well, the math score isn’t good at all, and probably needs to come up. I would add that your verbal score is not very distinguishing either. I just finished a Masters (on the site looking for PhD answers). My GRE was lopsided I scored in the 70th percentile for math (pretty shabby) but in the 97th percentile for Verbal and my analytical score was in the 95% (took the day before the change!!) Because my verbal was high, and the analytical was also high, and I had decent grades in statistics classes, they chose to ignore the funky math score…

Personally, I’d retake the GRE after doing a review class with Kaplan or someone. They teach all sorts of tricks to getting the Quant questions right without actually doing a lot of math.

Because of the change in the analytical section, I have a feeling that it isn’t taken very seriously, unfortunate for me too.
