Stapler Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I'm an international student from Korea and am applying for a PhD in one of the social sciences. I got a really low GRE score (360V and 590Q), however I do think the rest of my application is a stellar (GPA 3.8, excellent LORs and statement). Also, my TOEFL score is very high and my AWA is 5.5. In any case, do you think I stand a chance applying to schools like UC San-Diego and Northwestern or should I not even bother? Cannot take the GRE again this time around. Thanks, Stapler Edited November 20, 2010 by Stapler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukharan Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I suggest contacting those schools and honestly asking them about this. The overall score of 950 does seem quite low - you have probably heard that some schools have cut-off at 1000. The verbal score is also normally important for social science admissions. Call and ask. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
