What GRE needed for top 10 schools?

[Francophile1]

I would appreciate if people could contribute what GRE score is needed for such programs as HArvard, YAle etc...

I know it is only part of the app. But considering mediocre grades in undergrad and 3.6+ in grad MA, + second MA (which I haven't completed yet but aiming for 4.0, what grades are needed?

 

I currently have 152/146/4.0 and will be retaking test 3rd time...

Humanities field..any advice?

If you have been accepted to such a program what was your score?

Those scores are not good enough. You'll get cut from the list probably without them looking at the rest of your application.

BTW, you can look through the results section, many people post their GRE scores.

thanks, yes for my field so far I wasn't able to find any scores in my field. What score do you think "would cut it"?

[victorydance]

Hard to say really. I would look for at least a 158/158. 160+/160+ isn't probably going to hurt you or help you past that point. If you are in the humanities, the quant might not be that important.

what about analytical does it really matter especially if you send writing sample?
