>You're above average, so you may get to pick whatever you wish!

Well... It doesn't say out of all the life science applicants how many were accepted (e.g., most of them, half of them, one tenth of them). It also doesn't say what the average GRE scores are for the applicants who were accepted into a program.

I think that different fields (and different schools) vary with respect to how much weight they put into the GRE compared to other things (letters of recommendation, previous experience etc). In Philosophy there is information available on the number of applicants, the number of applicants accepted, the average GRE score of the accepted applicants. I'm not sure to what extent other fields do this.

Do you have someone at school who you can talk to about this? Who are your letter writers for your application? Have you talked to them about where they think you should apply etc. They are probably better placed to help you figure this out than people are here...
