I am not a native speaker, and none of the words in the test today looks familiar to me.
I am going to apply for industrial engineering program, can anyone tell me if I should retake GRE? Frankly, I do not have confidence that I can get a higher score next time(((

Maybe you need to email the schools where you intend to apply to ask about the impact of a low Verbal score. Nonetheless, I don't see any problem in retaking the test specially you can make the 800 in Quantitative. I suggest you invest some time in Verbal and try to score in the upper 400.

Good Luck!

Thanks a lot!
hypothetically, if i get pretty much the same score in my second time, would it be worse than just stay with my current GRE socre??

I don't believe this won't hurt you as long as you keep the 800 Q

Definitely you need a better Verbal score ... at least 500.

Congrats on your perfect quant score.I believe that to get into the top 10 schools you'll need a verbal score in the 500's or 600's.This is not to disappoint you, but I think with two more months of solid preparation in verbal,you will,most probably be able to make it.
If you decide against retaking the GRE,thats cool too...Try to focus more on your letter of reference's and statement of purpose and back it up with technical papers,research etc.
I'm sure,you'll be jus fine.All the best

Thank you so much for your advices!
I decided to retake GRE. the bottom line is even if I did not improve my verbal score, It wouldn't hurt any more. at least I hope so......
