Hi all,
I am originally from the US but have been studying in the UK for the past two years and will be applying to US grad schools over the next few weeks. If anyone could help me assess my application, that would be incredible.
I recently took the GRE in London and scored 170V, 161Q, and 5.5 AW. I'm thrilled with my scores as they are much better than either of my practice tests. On my UK transcript I currently have a 73 and 78 for first year and second year, respectively, and those scores are actually fairly strong (approx 4.0 equivalent, maybe bit short?) and I hope US admissions offices will see that.
Given that I am hoping to apply to a number of top ten polsci / policy / computational social science schools in the US, will my slightly lower quant score get in the way? 76 percentile quant is far from the other scores. And PhD versus Masters admissions?
Any perspective would be massively appreciated.
All the best,
Charlie
