Hi all. I'm a little worried about my chances of getting into a school and was looking for a little insight. I did not score great on the verbal section of the GRE and I do not have a lot of observation hours due to playing college baseball year round. Here are my stats. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the specific schools you applied to, but I believe you're competitive in general.

My husband tried to apply to U of SC last year with a 149 Q GRE score, but could not complete the application since his score did not meet their threshold. I don't know if they still have this rule, but you had to have a minimum of 300 combined with at least 150 V and 150 Q.

Thank you for pointing that out! However I just checked and it must have changed because now it says minimum of 300 combined with neither score under 145.
