lqdc Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I am trying to get into a Masters then PhD Computational Biology program - Applied Math department (Stony Brook Uni) and my GRE is only 750 in quant and 600 in verbal. Should I take the test again? My other stats are ok. My plan is to go to the masters, then pass the test PhD ppl take and get into the PhD.
sacklunch Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I'm not sure how you decided that was a low score? That is much higher than most. I wouldn't worry about it. Neuronista 1

waddle Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) That quant score looks to be a bit weak for a computational applicant. If I were you, I'd retake the GRE after studying up. Edited May 20, 2011 by waddle DrFaustus666 1

All schools say that they look at a variety of factors....seems to me that if you are strong in other areas (recommendations, work experience etc), then 750 looks like a pretty good score...put it another way, it's definitely not a poor score.
