hi, I took GRE yesterday, and I got 390/770...
OMG... I am an international student but I went through four years of higher education here in the U.S.
Does this verbal score rule me out of top 50ish schools?
I really don't want to take it again. I was too painful...

Oh, btw, I got A in Diff Eq as well. Yay!
