Worried about BME Ph.D app - Q158 V152

[tyu]

Hello Everyone

 

So I wrote the GRE today and got the unofficial scores above. My top choice was supposed to be University of Michigan - Ann Arbor but with these scores I definitely feel like I should rewrite. I know I can definitely do better but just incase, I was wondering if I could get everyone's opinion on it.

 

Thanks!

Hello 

 

I don't think I would mind considering I know exactly where I screwed up (spent too much time on one question and had to guess the last 3-4 [REGRET IT SO MUCH!!!])

 

Anyways, as for schools, I am planning to apply to:

 

- UM Ann Arbor

- Cornell

- Georgia Tech

- Northwestern

- Purdue

 

My GPA for my Masters is 3.9/4.0 but for my undergrad it was about 3.6/4.0. For my undergrad, I think Time's ranked the school at around 86 in the world and for my Masters, my current school is in the 200 somethings. However, both of which are fairly well known in Canada. I also have one publication although I am 1 of maybe 11 people on the author list? I'm also going in with no scholarship.

 

Thanks!

 

Sincerely,

tyu

I'm also pretty sure my references will write good things about me. The only thing that concerns me at this point is that a majority of these schools seem to have a high cutoff. For example, http://www.msinus.com/content/average-gre-scores-us-universities-219/, has the Q cutoff at 160 for michigan

I think you should retake. From what you've said, the rest of your application isn't very strong.

the ranking itself sux... given that waterloo is nowhere to be found. My undergrad school is top 30 i think in the THE... .. it doesn't mean anything..
