psych_ Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Per title! I am applying to cognitive psychology/neuroscience programs and am trying to figure out if my quant score is good enough or not. I think if I studied math a bunch more and retook the test I could probably get a few points higher, like ~167-8, given that I haven’t done much prep so far and lack of eg geometry knowledge definitely hurt. I’d like my GRE score to be actively helpful when applying and am worried it’s just under that cutoff rn. In particular, my undergrad GPA is low (3.5) and has very few math classes, although my much more recent and relevant classes masters GPA is 4. So it seems like I might need a higher quant score than this to help counteract that?
ResilientDreams Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 No. It's not under the cutoff. The median quant score for a lot of psych programs is in the 150s.
ResilientDreams Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Research fit is generally more important than scores in psych (as long as your scores are reasonable).
BabyScientist Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 As someone who got into a top neuroscience program with lower numbers, your scores are great, your GPA is good.
