I am a first time taker
here is my scores:
Verbal 387 31
biol434 90
reading 406 60
Quat 455 97
Chem 448 96
composite 436 90

My verbal is bloody and reading is terrible too. Will they admit me?😕😕
 
As long as the schools you are applying to don't have subsection minimums, they will likely consider your score since your composite is high. You might still have to explain you low verbal, which I correlate to a low vocabulary. Are you ESL? If so, and you have good toefl scores, I think they could overlook your verbal in light of your high composite and high science scores. Even if you are not ESL, I think you could still get away with it, although there is less of an excuse.

I think you definitely have a chance. Depending on your GPA and EC's, you seem pretty competent to me. Don't worry. Just nail your interviews!
 
You really have to see if the school you want to go to has a min. score per section or go to a school that doesn't need PCAT. I do know people with about the same score on verbal who got accepted into schools though.
 
don't worry about the low score on one part of the exam.
I got interview invitations, few acceptance, alternate lists with low reading score of 40%.

They mainly look at the composite score, depending on the school. Read their website and find out 🙂
