slpcommdis Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) What are good GRE scores to aim for? The schools I am looking at applying to have varying average GRE scores according to ASHA EdFind, so should I aim to get at least the average of my top school? I am worried my scores will be too low and impact my chances of getting in, though I have a high GPA. Edited June 27, 2020 by slpcommdis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your high GPA that should make you competitive. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estel Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think the general advice is to aim for the sum of your quantitative and verbal scores being at least 300. Obviously higher is better, but that's a good baseline target. Malithi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwslp Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Agreed that you wanna average 300 to bother eating the cost of applying. Below 300 is a marker for schools to stop looking at your application if you're equal to another candidate with a higher GRE. It's possible with lower!! But if you wanna be safe - aim above that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futureslp90 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I aimed for average, took it twice, and fell short. Even with below average scores I got into half the schools I applied to with a good GPA! I would say try your best but if you don't get average dont give up!

slpadmissioncoach1 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 You definitely want above 150 in V and Q and a 4 on writing. If you are applying to super competitive schools, you probably want to aim for 155 in V and Q and a 4.5 on writing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
