yoconman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hey everyone, just wanted to get a feel on my GRE scores. My major is Electrical Engineering. Q: 167 V: 157 A: 4.0 Not very good analytical scores, and verbal could defiantly be better. I'm thinking I'll retake just for clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med latte Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Look on the program websites for each school you are considering. Many will state what the minimum or average scores are for acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoconman Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm planning on applying to all the big universities (Stanford, UCB, MIT, etc.) and a few safety schools. The ones that had it on their website said that they like quantitative around 90th percentile or above. I'm 95th on that, but I'm just wondering if the V and A are a little low even though it's for engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharpe269 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I dont think that grad schools really care about GRE scores. If they are really low (think 150s on each section) then it will be a red flag, otherwise they are much more concerned with your knowedge on your research field and research experience.
