Rejected because of GRE scores

[columbia09]

Out of curiosity did any of you who were rejected find out it was because of your GRE scores ? A lot of schools don't post minimum scores or even averages on their websites so it becomes tricky to know if your application will get thrown out just because of a GRE.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure this applies to me. GRE scores+ no job experience in my field. Howver,my  rejection emails did not explicitly say that. They pretty much said something along the lines of "not being able to give you a reason for why you were rejected."

 

I also believe that my low GRE scores are one reason for why I have not received any type of funding yet...and perhaps by the fact that I applied for a Masters straight out of undergrad.

Last year I was rejected from Northeastern and when I contacted them after the rejection on why I was rejected, they said my GRE scores were not good enough and I wasn't a good fit after all, however as my program is computer science and my quantitative is 170, I don't really think that was the matter.

If they want to reject u.

They will find a reason.

If they want to accept u.

They will not care about ur low GRE score.

Admission process is not predictable at all.

I've seen people on the psych board say they weren't necessarily rejected because of their GRE, but their POI wasn't able to secure funding for them because of GRE scores. Splitting hairs since neither is an acceptance, I know, but there's kind of a difference.
