GRE Chemsitry Subject test results

[nipwe]

Hi

 

I took GRE chemistry subject test to compensate the lower GPA this April (UGPA: 3.2 after converting in to American grading system: used WES). My GRE chemistry subject score is 880 (93%). which is lower than I expected but hope not too low (being an international student). I am planning to apply for CU-Davis, Irvine, Berkeley, Arizona, and Stanford (not sure). I am wondering whether this score is ok!

I think that is a pretty credible score! I had a score of 840 (86%), on the GRE Chemistry subject test that I took last November, and I am an international student as well, with a relatively low GPA on the american grading system (mine was around 3.1). I still got around half a dozen acceptances (UIUC, Penn state amongst others) and am gonna be joining the graduate program at UCLA this fall! 

 

The thing is, your chemistry subject GRE score, is just one of the several different credentials, based on which the strength of your application will be judged. Your score is pretty good, and for international students, different universities have their own systems for standardizing the GPA's. Also, in my experience, GPA's might not necessarily make a lot of difference for an international student, if he/she has other useful credentials like good LoR's and research experience!

 

So, bottomline is, you did pretty well on your test (anything above 90% is really good)! Wish you, the very best!
