Great product!
I strongly recommend that you apply to more schools below the top tier - Cornell, U of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign, UC Santa Barbara, U of Michigan and Yale. This is pivotal moment in your life so you want to have options. If you don't have the money, try emailing the department for application waiver. You never know.
Strangely enough, of all the sections, I did best in verbal, percentile-wise and it was because I studied the hell out of it by learning 1200 new words. I used the Word Smart series book:

I just memorized the definitions and wrote thousands of sentences using those words wherever I went. I think I bumped up my verbal score by like 100 points just by doing this. I also forced myself to complete old paper versions of the verbal section in shorter time periods.
