rose1 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 When I took the GRE several years ago, I received a 670 on the verbal section. It's not a great score, but was in the 94th percentile for the year I took the test. While some school asked for both scores and percentiles, others just wanted the scores. Will this hurt me in the admissions process? My GRE scores were not fabulous (710 in math, 4.5 writing), but otherwise I feel my application is very competitive (grades, LORs, SOP, experience, etc.)
PrincetonOrBust Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 People with a lot worse scores than that get into a lot of great schools. When the GRE reports scores to the schools, I'm pretty sure they report both scores and percentiles, so regardless of what you self-reported, the schools should have that info. If those scores are the weakest part of your application, I imagine you'll be just fine.
rose1 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Good point about self-reporting vs. the actual GRE report. Thanks!
Timbrr Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 unless you're applying to a math based program, I'd say you're GRE scores are preeetty good!
