Sanfran Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Being from Canada, I am not really famliar with the GRE. Does anyone have an idea what kind of score one needs to be competitive. I am currently in my last year of undergrad at The University of Victoria and at the moment have a 4.0 gpa. . How competitive is HDS? Thanks, Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently in my last year of undergrad at The University of Victoria and at the moment have a 4.0 gpa. . How competitive is HDS? Thanks, Brent This is the first year that HDS has required GRE scores from MTS and MDiv applicants, so I don't think it's really possible to say yet. If I had to estimate, I would say anything about a 1200 would be competitive, with the verbal being more important than the math. But that's really just a vague estimate. I certainly know people here who scored lower than that. I really don't think that even HDS knows at this point what the distribution of scores will look like, since this is the first time that they've required the exam. theology2010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd worry more about the other parts of my application for precisely this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
