Hi all,

I just view my VR score, it's an 8...I did okay on PS and BS (10+ each) but I just barely hit the mean for VR. How would that affect my chance of getting secondaries and interviews? Any person out there that had a low VR score, and they actually questioned that in an interview? I did run out of time and can't finish the last two passages.

Please let me know if you have a comment!

Balance is better. What were your actual 2 other scores? If its a big imbalance, you might get questions, but if you have a nice combined score I'd be happy.

I got a 34M with 9 in VR. Would it hurt me a lot? English is my second language. Would adcoms take that into consideration also?

Thanks

Would it hurt you a lot? Doubt it. Could they potentially worry about it a little? Yeah. Also, if English is your second language I'm certain that cuts you a little slack in VR. 9 is a good score no matter the section. If your scores are heavy science and poor VR, it can raise some flags. I wouldn't worry about it :)
