[Gre for application]

Hi Elif,

Low score in XX, is always a relative term. What are your scores and are you applying to masters or phd? I didnt go to MIT info sessions yet but I just went to Harvard's phd info session. They (of course) said they dont have a strict cut off for GRE but people they have been accepting were in 85th percentile in BOTH verbal and quant sections. Well, that was certainly a bad news for me since my verbal score in only 58th percentile (quant is 97th). I think if you want to be competitive - I would suggest you to be min 75-80th percentile for MIT. I am retaking GRE as a matter of fact. (Please note that most of MIT applicants from outside of US will have excellent quant scores so your application probably won't stand out without a decent verbal section - ofc unless you have amazing published papers etc)

 

Best.

whats your background? (gre, gpa, undergrad major, work experience if any etc.)

[PhD in Management/Strategy/Entrepreneurship]

Thank you someguy in Amsterdam!

 

I am actually considering to retake GRE - I will try to increase my verbal score. I dont think B schools care whether quant is 169 or 170.

I think i definately have a shot for 10-20 B schools and trying to add couple of schools from that as well. I am at this point just aiming at US B Schools, since I want to stay here after PhD (it is considerably harder to get a job in US with an EU PhD). What schools you are applying?

Hello guys,

 

I recently started my research and I wanted to hear your opinions as I started drafting my list for B Schools. Depending on school and faculty, I may select phd in management, strategy or entrepreneurship fields, which could be closely related in some schools.

 

I want to apply to some top B Schools (HBS, Sloan etc) but my GRE's verbal is a bit low. Should I re-take it? I need your advice. 

 

My background:

GPA:
3.5 - BS in Mechanical/Robotics Engineering & Business minor from a reputable undergraduate school in US

GRE score:
