I took the GRE back in June 2010 prior to enrolling in Masters programs (even though later I found out the Master of Music programs I was applying to didn't require GRE scores.)
I am finishing up a Masters degree now (in Music), and I want to apply to NYU's Phd Program in Voice Performance. This program requires GRE scores.
Theses were my GRE scores from 2010: (the number in parenthesis is the corresponding score with the new revised test)
V: 560 (157) 77%
Q: 570 (147) 40%
AW: 4.5 72%
So questions:
1) I know that even if you retake the GRE, when they send the scores, they send both groups of numbers. Does this mean it looks bad to retake it? (The first time I took the test I had just returned teaching abroad in China and was still jet lagged, unfortunately. Not sure how much this affected my scores.)
2) My quantative score was really low, simply because I was really rusty. But does this really matter for a PhD Music program?
3) Does anyone know the average GRE scores to get into a Phd program at NYU? (My undergrad GPA was 3.97 and my grad GPA so far is above a 3.9 as well. )
Thanks. Any input would be helpful.
