GRE Score Good Enough?

[cbowen11]

I scored a 161 V /165Q with a 4.5 AW. I have a 3.7 GPA and research experience. Without getting to into the details of my resume, is this score good enough to get into a top 10 aerospace Ph.D. program, assuming that the rest of my application is solid? Any chances for a fellowship or should I retake?

Thanks

Those scores should be fine. Aerospace programs prefer a slightly higher quant score, but yours won't be held against you. Generally, scores above 160 or >85-90% are sufficient for most programs.

Hi cbowen11,

Both your Quant and Verbal scores are at about the 90th percentile, so you've scored well. PhD Programs tend to be highly competitive, so you should do some additional research to determine whether you need to retake the GRE or not. The Admissions Departments at the Schools will likely be able to answer many of the questions that you might have.

GRE Masters aren't born, they're made,
