I just scored 710(Q49,V35) a bit worried about verbal

Dear all,

I just scored a 710. It's a quite good score given my conditions today.
but a bit low for what I think I should be able to achieve especially on the verbal part.
I couldn't fall asleep last night and had probably 3,4 hours of sleep. On top of that, I had my menstrual pain too! So by the time I was doing verbal, I was really falling a sleep :(

I would appreciate some advice from some of you regarding this score which is slightly lower than the median most of the top 10 schools in the US. They are around 713, 714, 715 with of course the exceptions of HSB and Stanford GSB.

710 is a good score. Depending on other parts of your profile, maybe you can make it to a top ten school.

If you can post a bit more about ur profile, someone who has been there already can help you analyze.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

If you think you have time, and if you think you can improve then go for it.

That's the problem, I know I will score better if I do it again but timewise not so optimal. Probably better to invest the time in essay writting.

I suggest you to post in the profile evaluation forum, giving your details. Lot of experts answer there. So it could be really helpful.

All the best with your application process.
