Catria Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 As with just about anything graduate school, GRE scores are far from everything. Work experience, GPA are also important ingredients... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umair45 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 you are right. But I was just wondering if this score is fine, provided other things are good? A GPA in top 80%, work experience of 2 years working in a developing country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMasterEMPOWERRichC Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi Umair45, When discussing any individual's "chances" at getting accepted to any particular Grad School, there are a number of factors to consider beyond the GRE score - you seem to understand that. There's also HOW you "market" yourself to a School - through personal statements, essays, interviews, etc. Beyond having the qualifications, you also have to communicate that information effectively. Have you discussed your profile with an Admissions Expert? Those professionals tend to have much keener insights into the process (and into individual Schools/Programs) than a group of random strangers will. GRE Masters aren't born, they're made, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
