Notes
B.S. and M.S. in Engineering at University from Asia, 4 years of research experience, 2 first authored papers (one is very good journal in materials science), 1 second authored paper, several conference awards and presentations (1 oral presentation at ACS National meeting), 3 strong LORs (one is very very strong letter from my research collaborator professor at IVY), no GRE Sub, contacted with POI 2 months ago. As you guys can see my poor GRE score (especially verbal score), maybe I can say GRE score does not really matter for engineering and science majors if you have fair research experiences and publications. Good luck to everybody!
