so did I take test on January 2nd and got them back on 11th. btw how are your scores?

Many thanks for your comment, now it makes more sense I really appreciate it

Thank you for your comment, actually we were talking about GRE, but since I am taking my MSc from a canadian school and my BSc was from abroad, so I waived TOEFL. However my IELTS score was quite good and it was 7.0. Do you think a good SOP can do anything influential for me? I am really disppointed by AWA.

It might be the same for Stanford but could you please comment of the percentile of the internationals accepted to Duke's? My understanding is around 60% on average, is that correct? do they overlook AWA for MSc applicants?

Actually I don't have enough time to retake it as the deadline is approaching. And you are right the average is the same for our program as well. But do they take internationals the same as native-speakers? Is there any way to compensate it?

I have a MSc in electrical engineering and am applying to a MSc in management science and engineering at Stanford. I wrote for GRE and my scores are Q 164, V 149 and AWA 3.0. How you see my chances to get into the program? Btw I am an international student and my GPA is 4.0. I am really worried about my status. Any advises and past experiences are appreciated

how is your AW? or like me you are awaiting it to come out? btw your profile sounds excellent enough for those schools

Folks, many thanks for your help, I took the test today and ended up with V 149 and Q 164. Now awaiting AW to come out What do you think if schools tolerate not native English speakers for a low verbal ?

I have almost done with flash cards but I feel it may not cover all the words required for verbal I encountered some questions in Princeton that needed knowing new words !!! I appreciate it if you could give me some last minute word of wisdom Many many thanks

I don't see any problem with your verbal score as we both are from an engineering background afterall. However, the role of your AW is also important. Have you get your AW score yet? which world-list you had used for memorizing vocabs? and are you an internationl student? it's really tough for us to get the verbal done

I think your chance is really high for top tier schools as long as your letters are strongly supportive and your AW is at least 4.0. I wish my verbal was the same as I have one in couple of weeks. Any advises for the test preparation in verbal? I really appreciate it.

rickytran344 : we are talking about verbal in GRE rather than GMAT. I think sentence correction is in GMAT, am I right? By the way thanks for your comment

Many many thanks I really appreciate your helps

I bought 500-word flashcards of Kaplan, is that good enough for a score above 155 in verbal?

Thanks a lot, memorizing how many words you are suggesting is assuring that would get the entire vocab required questions answered? I apprecite for suggesting any word-list you had used in the past.

Could anybody please fill me in on how important is the essay of diversity? and what do they really expect us to write there?

Thanks for your reply I meant on the test day you were given these choices? is that correct? many thanks, by the way how long did it take to get them received to schools? is that done electronically?

Hey Folks, just wondering if " the most score" option works at test center at the test day to submit most recent score only. Or do I have to wait until getting AW score then to order the " the most recent" one? Any past experience is appreciated by the way how long does it take to get the scores received by schools? does it send electronically?

Hello all, I just worried about if we can use the "most recent" option just after the exam ( the ones for free) to have the most recent one reported to the schools. I dont know why somewhere I noticed we have to wait until getting the all scores then we can. Can somebody please concur if we can report the most recent without sending earlier ones in the test day for free. Many thanks

Thanks for your reply, I am indeed practicing to take another GRE with its revised format. However, in the mock tests I am running out of time in verbal section--let's say 4 to 3 last questions--and the total estimated score is not good enough. It's really disapppointing for me. How could I improve this weakness in verbal? I greally appreciate any advices to upgrade my verbal skill.

Hey Folks, just required to write an essay about diversity, I would really apprreciate it if you could advise me some hints and guidlines

Folks, how is the importance of writing section? can it compensate a low verbal ? any suggestions or past experiences are appreciated

Thanks for your replies, yes I'm international student I was waived of taking TOEFL again as I got a MS in electrical engineering from a canadian university. Yet I am disappointed with my GRE, verbal. Would this let them down? how low is acceptable for verbal?

I wish to apply for MS management science and engineering at Stanford. My background is electrical engineering and my GRE is Q 800 and V 330. Any idea how can I make my application strenghned? Is there any chance of getting admission? thanks for your help

Hello guys, I am thinking to apply for MSc in management science and engineering. My background is MSc in Electrical engineering. but I am worried about the verbal section of the GRE--would you please advise me of your experience how hard and important they are taking verbal scores? as their admitted students marked a little bit high average verbal score in the website.
