wtirado Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 My profile... Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering degree 3.79GPA GRE: 950 Patent pending (approval in a month) Scholarships from: The Boeing Company; NACME; Rackspace; Morris R Pitman; W.S Robinson Honor Society's: Tau Beta Pi; Eta Kappa Nu; Golden Key;Omicron Delta Kappa; Alpha Chi; IEEE member Experience: 1 year communication engineer intern for a local utility company, 1+ year as a Controls Engineer for an Automation Company I have applied to the Graduate of Electrical Engineering programs for the following universities. Ohio State University (did not include GRE) Arizona State University Penn State University of illinois- Chicago (did not include GRE) Texas a&m University of Florida University of Maryland I am concerned that my GRE is too low for these universities to accept me. Do you think I have a chance of getting in to any of these? Do you know anyone who has been accepted to good schools with low GRE's?
ISEngineer Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Honestly retake the GRE. Your profil is great but your GRE could hurt you. Your GPA would be sufficient to try it for Cal, Stanford, etc as well.
fuzzylogician Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Your profile looks great but I bet at least some schools will have (official or unofficial) cutoffs and you won't meet them. In that case, no one will ever see your file so all your credentials won't matter. If you can afford it, you should retake the GRE.
wtirado Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 Sorry I did not respond sooner, since I am a new memeber I am only allowed one post per day. The Fez: My math score was a 610 Fuzzylogician: I took it twice. First time I did not study and got a 950. The second time I studied three months an hour a day in advanced and learn over 1000 Vocabulary words and I still received a 950. Standardized tests are not for me. I am hoping that I do get accepted somewhere because I would really like to go back to school. Thank you guys for your advice!!
