Rachel394 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi guys, I'm an bio major undergraduate, and I'm considering about biostat MS. I took GRE twice: 1st time I got V149, Q159, A3.5; 2nd time I got V146, Q161, A N/A. I'm not sure which GRE score should I send to universities. I understand that a high quan score is very important, but I don't know if the V146 will hurt my application. And I don't have time to take it again. I'm applying to Brown, Pitt, Boston, Tulane, Drexel, OSU, and NYU Sincerely, Rachel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL250604 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Rachel, I would definitely send in the latter, with the higher Q score. If you're a native speaker, or have a high TOEFL score, the verbal section will be fine. Plus, both of your V scores are quite similar, and the higher quantitative score really is a bigger deal.

BL Thank you BL! I'm an international student, but I took my undergrad in US, so my TOEFL is waived. So is the 2nd score still a better choice?

BL250604 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Absolutely, I think submitting a Q above 160 is much more important than the 3 points in Verbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayessays Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 You'll have to look it up for each program - usually, if you have a degree from a US school, you can waive the test. If you attended University in a non-english speaking country, you'll probably have to take the TOEFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
