Hi everyone,
I just took the GRE for the heck of it (pushed by collegues saying "it could give you a shot at a funded PhD instead of a crappy expensive online master degree") and got good scores: Q168, V169, W4.5. Question is, is it good enough?
At this point, I'm balancing between statistics and psychology (not applying tomorrow). I've been out of school for a while (5 years) and graduated with a decent but not amazing GPA (3+, would have to look at the "official" conversion, BSc in Computer science, MSc in applied statistics). I don't have much research opportunities around here, conferences are few and out of reach for most of them (language barrier or too far away).
I will be taking the GRE subject test for math and/or psychology, depending on what I decide. I can get somewhat decent recommendations letters for both fields, but of course without comments on my nonexistant research...
I'm worried that the Q score is not good enough for a good stat program, and that the W score is too low for psychology.
Would this kind of GRE score be good enough to make a "good" school overlook my less decent application aspects?
Thanks,
Ansi
