I have <40% in verbal and reading sections
and.. >90% in the rest of sections
composite 87%

Although schools care more about science and math, is having these low scores in Verbal and reading okay?
I'm so worried.

Its fine, they will probably question you on a few things during the interview, but most schools just examine a composite and that seems good enough to get in with a decent GPA.

My aunt is an adcom for medical school and they do look at the entire picture when it comes to scores. They may have high science scores, but she questions applicants with low verbal/reading/essay scores. Can they [confidently] communicate efficiently and orate themselves to patients and doctors? After all, your patients need to be able to understand you. 🙂 There was a bit of a debate about this some threads back if you want to do the research.
