I just got my scores back, and I got 168 verbal, 162 quantitative, and 5.0 analytical writing Will my shitty quantitative score on the GRE seriously affect my chances of getting into a good engineering graduate program? How much do schools actually care about this?

Forgot to mention that I'm a senior with a 3.97 GPA at Purdue in an engineering program

Most people get perfect score on quant so I'd say yes.

Apply and find out. There are programs that have average quant scores lower than yours. I don’t understand what you mean by “good”. Do you want a name brand school?https://magoosh.com/gre/2013/gre-scores-for-engineering-programs/

I took it five years ago. Walked cold turkey into the exam and got a 163 on both verbal and quantitative. You should retake it if it matters that much to you. Some of my friends did and did much better. I never bothered with it since I took it at the last possible moment before most applications were due. I was always insecure that some of my friends did much better than me. Oh well, there's no cure for mental retardation.

This. I think almost 95% of people get a perfect score on the quant

How can we eliminate this other 5%? They're holding us back from perfection.

You'll be fine. Your other scores are good and you're still 80%< percentile on the quant. You have a great GPA. Just have very strong recommendation letters and some research and you'll be ok.

General GRE is a meme, borderline SAT tier shit. Subject tests, GPA, and past experience are the things that will get you into a grad school. t. Physics Grad

Taking the GRE as an engineering major is an indication that you're unemployable.
