Snowman540z Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ok, I'm somewhat of an a typical applicant. I have been working as an actuary for the past 2 years and have past 4 actuarial exams. I am applying to pure math programs. Due to my low (read: abysmal) GRE score should I apply to some more schools (lower ranked) or do you think it is likely that I will be accepted by one I am applying to. My details are below. Undergrad: high ranking liberal arts college GPA: 3.82 (3.98 math) GRE general V: 160 M: 164 W: 4.5 GRE subject M: 580 (yikes!) Other: three solid recs, did some research in econometrics as an under grad no publication though. Phi beta kappa, several math awards, 4 actuarial exams passed. Schools Dartmouth Brandeis Tufts Umd BU BC What do you think? I'm considering applying to more schools in the 50-100 range rankwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDS! Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Focus on 30-50, with a few hail mary passes to 10-29 - just to say you applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman540z Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ehh I applied to umass Amherst and temple as well. I think any thing in the 30-50 range is a bit of a stretch given my GRE. For example I know osu doesn't look at applications with GREs under the 40th percentile ( they mention it on their website). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
