Hey there! I can't really speak to what factors are considered to be most important in your application, as I'm a fellow applicant myself. However, I have access to the US News information on graduate schools for education, so I can provide you with some statistics on admissions. This information is for all the Master's programs at the graduate schools of education, so keep in mind that these numbers don't just reflect the teacher education programs. But it's better than nothing, right? USC Applications 1,990 Acceptance rate (master's) 61.8% Average GRE score (new test) 151 verbal, 151 quantitative UCLA Applications 541 Acceptance rate (master's) 67.3% Average GRE score (new test) 152 verbal, 149 quantitative UC Berkeley http://gse.berkeley.edu/admissions-faqs (for all admissions to the Graduate School of Education) Applications 365 Acceptance rate (master's) 30.7% Average GRE score (new test) 159 verbal, 156 quantitative Stanford https://gse-step.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/stepfactsheet1.pdf (fact sheet for the Stanford Teacher Education Program) Applications 983 Acceptance rate (master's) 32.2% Average GRE score (new test) 160 verbal, 157 quantitative UCSD Applications 114 Acceptance rate (master's) 78.9% Average GRE score (new test) 153 verbal, 152 quantitative UCI Applications 222 Acceptance rate (master's) 91.9% Average GRE score (new test) 153 verbal, 151 quantitative Hope this helps!

Nope, I'm applying to teach English. Thanks for the tip about Magoosh! Looks like my quant score is the average for Education PhD programs at Stanford, so it should be fine for STEP as well. I think I just needed some reassurance. Thanks!

Hola! I'm applying to MA programs in teaching and I'm curious as to the importance of GRE scores. I'm applying to Stanford STEP, UCLA TEP, maybe Columbia, and some other fairly competitive programs. I have a Q157, V168, and 5.5 in W. Obviously, the verbal and writing scores are good, but I'm a little concerned about that 157 quant score after talking to some friends and browsing the GRE forum here. I'm wondering if I need to at least bump that score to 160+. Any input on to how important GRE scores are to these types of programs? Worth retaking the test? Or do teacher preparation and education programs look at applications more holistically? Any and all input welcome
