Submitting mGRE for Theoretical CS PhDs

[bruins613]

Hey all, I'm applying to a mix of math and computer science PhD programs and took the October mGRE. I was wondering, since most computer science programs don't require it, what would be a high enough score to consider it a positive addition to my application? I got around the 75th percentile, which from what I can gather is just on the bottom end of what top math programs are looking for. I'm applying to some very competitive schools and don't want to put anything on my application that won't help.

I don't think 75 percentile would add much to your application for top CS programs, especially if you already have impressive math grades on your transcript. I think 85+ would be impressive.
