epinephrine Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My quant score is especially disappointing- I expected a near-full score on the basis of both practice and the fact that I was reasonably confident in the exam itself. I don't want to retake because of how expensive it is for me, but I really am aiming for top-10. Specifically aiming for Stanford and Columbia U, but others too. Do you think it is a satisfactory score, or will the Quant score affect my application badly? Thanks P.S. Foreign student! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftyweasel Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 those are perfectly good scores - great in fact. Differences of a few points are usually due to luck-based scenarios on the day of the test. Dont bother spending more money to get your score up a few points - at your level any increase won't be a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimchijajonshim Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 http://magoosh.com/gre/2013/stanford-gre-scores/ Stanford Chemistry Projected Average Ranges Verb: 162-166 Quant: 161-165 I would not retake it. Even if your scores are disappointing you're well within the ranges, you're at a point of diminishing returns. If you're going to get in, you'll get in. If you're not going to get in, getting a few extra points on the GRE (unless you score straight 170s with a 6) are probably not going to affect much either.

geographyrocks Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Are you freaking kidding me? I know people harp on perfect scores, but they don't really mean much. You have top 10 scores. What you should be worring about is research experience and fit. VulpesZerda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
