<p>This isn’t how you apply for graduate school. You need to have an explicitly-stated particular research interest in your application - the Statement of Purpose - that lays out your reasons for pursuing graduate studies and your proposed line of inquiry. That doesn’t mean you have to do that exact thing as a graduate student, but it does show your understanding of graduate school and the research process.</p>
<p>Your sample verbal GRE score is relatively unimportant - your GPA is plenty high enough, and besides, you haven’t even studied for/taken the <em>real</em> GRE - you’re worrying about a sample test!</p>
<p>But stats alone are <em>not</em> enough to get you admitted somewhere - the universities you’re talking about get far more highly-qualified applicants than they can possibly admit. Qualitative factors such as research experience and recommendations will be the selective issues. For instance, do you have a group of professors who are willing to write you strong recommendation letters? Those will be key parts of your application package.</p>
