Am I cooked? (328 GRE - 169Q, 159V)

Hello monkeys,

Recently took the GRE for bschool and got a less than ideal verbal score that makes me look like an ESL kid (yes, I am latino/hispanic - no, Spanish was not my first language, it was English). Wanted to get a sense from this sub if I was chilling with my quant score or if the "5 in "159" was no bueno

Background: Ivy league undergrad (3.6 in computer science), MBB --> MF tech PE, lots of volunteering teaching kids computer science

Gracias

You should be able to break into the T10 or M7 maybe, especially if you have glowing recommendations.
