ysznl37 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 My GRE score is V520 Q790. Do I need to take that again? Someone says engineering program only focuses on Q score, but my V is a little low and I want to apply for top10 programs. Would my V influence the application seriously? And I'm an international student, so Englisht is not my native language. I have to say that GRE is a nightmare to me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesotan Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 From what I've heard - and take this for what it's worth, since I am a humanist - you are right. Engineering programs are concerned primarily with the GREQ, especially for non-native speakers. Is your TESOL score strong? That might be more important as far as judging your ability to perform well in classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it is worthwhile to take GRE again. I have to spend a loooooong time to prepare for it. Maybe I could spend that time for better use which can help me more than a higher GRE score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If you graduate with a US degree, do you still have to take the TOEFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysznl37 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 If you graduate with a US degree, do you still have to take the TOEFL? It depends. Some programs require a TOFEL score if I don't spend at least two years in US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukiitm Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Sorry, but, TESOL, TEFOL, TOEFL, TOFEL - which one is it, dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesotan Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Oops! TESOL is the certification for teaching English as a second language. TOEFL is the test I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
