u/5YrsExp

I gave my GRE and I got the following scores
Quant: 157
Verbal:152

I messed up my quant really bad in 2nd section.
I am targeting below universities
Purdue
UMD
UCI
TAMU
NSCU
Virginia Tech
SJSU
NEU

CGPA: 8.29
Backlog: OOP in 2nd year of Engineering but cleared with C grade (still ashamed)

Work Exp: 4.5 Yrs
In a dilemma now. Should I retake the GRE? Or which universities will still be realistically achievable with this score?
If yes then please suggest me some resources. Currently preparing from Gregmat.

Anyone who isn’t planning to give GRE. May I know why?

Hi everyone, I am aiming for MS CS for Fall 27 and as of today I have ~5 yrs work experience. I want to pursue MS in universities which offer great courses on Distributed Systems and Storage Domain Technology cause that’s the domain I currently work in and want to continue the same post MS. Following is my Tier list based on my research (US news portal, YT videos, ChatGPT) and I need help in finalising it. I have 8.29 CGPA and worked as FTE in companies like Nutanix and Cohesity.
