blek Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 I have planed to apply to grad schol this year. However, I have got a bad GPA, GRE, GRE CS and also TOEFL. My GPAs are 2.01 in B.Eng, 3.65 and M.Eng. (Computer Engieering) My GRE is V/Q : 290/790, and Subject Test is at 50th percentile. (I took a test 2 times this years, and still waiting for the second score.) I also took TOEFL test 4 times, all are bad and not consistent. Reading/Listening/Speaking/Writting 1st : 17/26/14/24 2nd : 26/24/15/17 3rd : 27/18/15/17 4th : 23/22/18/21 Despite the low score, I've just submit a paper to high rank conferences in filed of theoretical computer science, STOC. I have a confident that this paper would be accepted. I'm nearly to give up to apply to grad school. Am I have a little chance to be admitted by any grad school.
Minnesotan Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 I thought 300 was the baseline score for the verbal section of the GRE. How do you get less than zero questions right?
blek Posted November 26, 2007 Author Posted November 26, 2007 The base line for not answer the question is 300, but the lowest score for choosing wrong answer in every question is 200. That means I'm answer wrong in most question, and thus my score is 290.
crossedfingers Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Dont know how strong your research background is, but I know a friend from Russia, who had a 270 in his GRE Verbal and still made it to Cornell. His TOEFL sucked as well. But he had a 98 percentile in subject GRE and three publications (? i think).
