GRE scores

Just something to do while I'm waiting...

This site is a little depressing insofar as the people who frequent it are more dedicated to academics and, consequently, have higher GRE scores. I celebrated my score (720Q, 640V), until I started reading results/forums here.

Waiting sucks.

Waiting sucks.

Yeah, I thought my score (790Q, 580V) was tops, looks kinda average now.

The waiting for me should be over this week or next. If I don't get invited to an interview, then I'm just waiting for a rejection.

Best,

These don't at all seem accurate, in terms of the actual scores programs receive. I have to agree with commguy that the people on this board seem to have higher scores. The average GRE scores for communication programs (the few that are listed) are all below the average scores here. And those are admitted candidates, not solely applicants.

Obviously, this varies by field. I'm far happier with my 700V and 630Q than I would be the other way around, but I'd imagine that all of the science people feel the opposite.

Interesting facts:

1386 falls in 96th percentile of all GRE test takers

670 verbal is the 94th percentile

45% of the verbal scores fell in the 700-800 range, and 700 flat is the 97th percentile

41% with 700+ verbal score?

I was dancing with my 650 ...
