Hi
I will be applying for MFE courses in US for Fall 2018. Needed advice on that.

I graduated in 2015 in Ceramic Engineering from IIT-BHU(one of the top notch institutions in country.)
I am presently working in Blackrock India(1 yr work ex.) in the financial modelling group wherein i am involved in building statistical and mathematical techniques like med-couple, regressions, bootstrapping,differentiation formulas etc. for modelling the mutual funds.I work on R and linux primarily.I also have a 1 year work ex. as a quantitative research analyst at Evalueserve where i supported a trading desk of an investment bank in developing smart beta and multi asset investment strategies. I have 2 years of work experience in quantitative finance. I have cleared FRM level 1.I recently took GRE(318,q-168,v-150,awa-4.5) and Toefl(106,r-24,l-27,s-28,w-27).I scored 99.6percentile in Maths(majorly involved Calculus,Complex numbers,coordinate geometry)in IIT-JEE examination(one of the most prestigious engineering entrance exam in the world ) and have strong foundation in fundamentals . I am also taking online courses on Partial Differential eqs ,Linear Algebra and C++.My CGPA is 7.87 on absolute scale.I am well versed with R programming, VBA, Excel,Linux and Bloomberg database.
I am aiming for Baruch,Berkley,Columbia,NYU,CMU. I am worried about my low Verbal GRE score because these programs require higher GRE scores.Kindly suggest me whether based on this score will i be able to get through with these colleges or should i retake GRE.
