Rosie Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hi guys, I was wondering if I could apply with my current GRE score or whether I should try to aim for a higher result. I'm an international applicant, and I'm applying for a masters degree in education, no plans for PhD. my scores are: 1) V 152 / Q 169 / AWA 4.0 2) V 155 / Q 165 / AWA 3.0-4.0 (I don't have an essay score yet since I took it yesterday but I don't think I did well.) My target schools are: UVA, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, Virginia Commonwealth, James Madison and hopefully William & Mary. (mostly public schools in Virginia.) I'm not sure how competitive I should be to get into those schools since I'd be happy to be accepted to any of the schools mentioned above. Like I think I must need higher schools for William & Mary or UVA considering their rankings and stuff but there was less information on other schools. Is my score okay enough or should I try to make at least V 160 / Q 165 / AWA 4.0? Many thanks for your advice in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neist Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I can't answer any of your questions directly, but here's some metrics mined out from US News by Magoosh (it hasn't been updated since 2015). http://magoosh.com/gre/2013/gre-scores-for-education-programs/ If their analysis is correct, I don't think your GRE should hold you back.
