There was a guy on here that got accepted to DMU with a 4 Verbal... English was his second language. If it's not your 2nd language, go learn another language and make English your 2nd language

that's weird...you must have had a mis-grid. I think you can get in....but don't limit yourself on schools. It would probably be very easy for them to pat you on the back and tell you to increase the verbal score.
