For Engineering and Biotech , the most important score is Quantitative. Departmental admissions will only see if you have got respectable numbers in other scores.
Requirement for subject score varies from University to university. Check with particular university.

Hi Anand, Congratulations on your GRE score! I’ve been through this whole process myself at one point and I’l try to answer your questions too:

1) Do American universities consider the marks from all 4 years of college?
ANS. Yes. So if you think you can get your scores up, in the next few semesters then you should definitely make use of that opportunity. You could also gather some work experience and save some cash for grad school. That is not a bad idea. A lot of people do that.

2) Universities?
ANS. Financial Engineering. One of my friends who got a 2310 in his GRE in 2003 went to Gatech for his MS in Financial Engineering. He did have a distinction on average. We were both studying at COEP. My friend now works for HSBC in London. So that is a good option.

For Computer Science, just having a good GRE score need not be enough for a lot of universities. What research areas are you interested in?
