GRE score low or ok

[grelover]

Hi All,

I recently took my GRE and got 159 in Quants and 163 in Verbal. I'm planning to apply for below programs:-

MS in MIS in top 10 colleges

MBA in top 20 colleges

MS Computer Science related(not actual Computer Science) programs in Carnegie Mellon University.

Could you please let me know if my score is suffiicent enough for top 20 colleges in Information Technology related Masters or MBA programs in US.

Thanks.

Hi @grelover,

According to the (imperfect) GRE to GMAT converter, your score would be about a 650 on the GMAT. Without knowing your GPA or other stats and background information, I would say that you should aim for a slightly higher score (GMAT equivalent of 700 or better) to be maximally competitive for a Top 20-ranked MBA program. As for Ms Computer Science-related programs, you should aim for a Quant score that is in the 85th percentile or better.
