Arcanelady27 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I have taken the GRE three times. My last test has the highest verbal score, but my second test has a higher quantitative score and a AW score of 4.0. I am not sure what the score is for AW this last test. Should I send all the scores or the highest of the three?
SLPosteriorCricoarytenoid Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 From what I've been told by professors on the admission panel at a program I'm applying to: The most important part of the GRE for Speech Path is the verbal. That should be taken in consideration the most when deciding which scores to send. Also, the AW score is also looked at and carries considerable weight. The quant score is not unimportant by any means, but I was told that it is of least weight on the GRE for our field of study. Heck, one program I am applying to doesn't even look at the quant score on the GRE at all. That being said, I took the GRE twice and focused on sending the GRE that I scored the highest on Verbal and AW. Many programs are also looking for an AW score that is at least 4 and up. I wont say this is for every program, but it's kind of the consensus for a majority of programs. This is my experience with this, so take it as you wish. There are certainly exceptions for different programs but this seems to be the recurring pattern at least for all the programs I looked at and applied to. Arcanelady27 1
Arcanelady27 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 For one of the schools, I sent all three scores. For another school I sent only the highest score. I hope sending all three does not make me look like a unqualified candidate. I think made a mistake and sent the score twice to the same school. The second time I requested the highest score and the first time all three. This is my second time applying and I really want to get in this time around.
