Hi all,
I am aiming for entrance to the top 1/2 Statistics PhD programmes in the US. My first GRE attempt with no practice gave the result of: Quant 170, Verbal 158, AWA 4. I am a native English speaker and have a good academic background for these programmes. Would the lower Verbal and AWA scores affect my chances for admission to top programmes (given that I am applying for a mathematical PhD programme?). I am confident that I can improve my verbal and AWA scores by practising (I am a native English speaker), but given the high exam fees and required preparation time would it still be worth retaking the exam? Would appreciate advice for any who might have knowledge about how graduate schools perceive the GRE scores.
Thanks!

I have mentioned verbal, quants and awa requirement of few universities of USA. Yes, from these, it looks you have to improve your Quants and AWA score.
