Keep in mind that a 163 Q is a 63rd percentile, and a 155 V is 65th percentile verbal, so neither side of the test is helping you to rise above/stand out from your peers. I would definitely try to push things to get yourself above the 320 mark, as that will open some doors and give the admissions teams more confidence in your academic abilities. If you don't cross the mark, I would still apply to your targets, but just consider casting a slightly wider net as well - perhaps adding another program that competes in the Rice/Jones tier.
Best of luck!
