Having just gone through the whole precess myself, I'll relate what I
have seen and heard.
One of my undergraduate advisors stated, "anything below a 600 is
fatal." I'm not sure ia agree with this, because I know of people who
have gotten in with one of the scores below 600, but I'm not sure I would
want to risk it. You should have something else going for you with low
scores. It certainly was an insentive for me to get that verbal score up.
>From what I have seen it seems that most physical students do _very_ well
in the qualitative and analytical (above 700) and not as good in verbal
(but still above 600), and that this trend is reversed for cultureal
students.
Hope this helps.
Phil
