I recently took the GRE exam and sadly did not perform as well as I had hoped. I received a 158 verbal, 156 quant, and 4 awa. Would these scores still qualify me for highly ranked MArch 2 programs? I intend to apply to Harvard GSD, Columbia GSAPP, UPenn, UC Berkeley, and UCLA. I know that the portfolio is the most critical aspect of the application, however I highly doubt schools such as these will accept students below a certain minimum standard. If necessary, I can retake the GREs, but I’m not so confident that I can perform better as standardized tests have never been my strong point.

yeah, sure, score tests don’t mean anything. They’ll take just any wanker willing to pay their exorbitant tuition anyways.

terrible GRE scores don't typically correlate with excellent portfolios, grades, and recommendations, so probably not.

Counterpoint I got a near perfect GRE score and was rejected from a couple top ranked schools.
It doesn't matter. Your portfolio matters. Don't ignore the GRE but don't waste time studying that could be spend designing.

YES you are qualified, because there are no a clear line for GRE score! Just make your portfolio perfect, then you nail it.
