I have submitted my applications to 7 of my targeted universities, but with my GPA and low Verbal GRE (149) scores i think it will be a bit hard to get admitted even tho i got 165 Quant :think:

I think that is a good overall GRE score, however, the school might tell you to submit TOFEL. However, the standardized test score benefits you with a higher Quant score.

Already submitted IELTS and some of the schools actually accepts Duolingo this year so, it's kinda helpful with the overall budget (test for 49$)

Thanks for your reply Nikhil.

Yes, I saw that in the tracker. However, I applied in the Feb 1 deadline. So I don't know whether there are still chances for a call? Also whether it is compulsory to send scores after one has updated the unofficial scores in the application form.

It is not going to affect your admission. If the issue is on their side, they should be able to resolve it provided you have reported them correctly :)
