Since I started writing about Average GRE scores for various U.S Universities, I had few comments and questions about not getting admission even with GRE Score above the average GRE scores required by the University. So, I wanted to highlight few things about importance of GRE score and graduate school admission.
GRE Scores Average
So far I have listed average graduate record exam scores for few universities and will be adding more universities ( University of North Texas, NCSU, University of Texas at El Paso, ..) to the existing list. All those standardized test scores and average GRE scores is supposed to give an idea about universities expectations.
In on the of previous article about getting admission with low gre scores, explains in detail about how universities consider and use the GRE scores while considering the candidate for college admission. Almost all the schools had the same idea and view about using GRE scores.
GRE Exam Score is part of many factors
GRE Exam scores is considered along with many other application documents. So, GRE Score alone will not get admission into graduate school. In some case that will work. For instance, having GRE score of 1410 and GPA less then 3.2 might balance low GPA. So, I want to highlight the fact that, GRE score is not the only criteria to get admission into grad school.
Also, university considers to give admission to variety of students to have diversity among student population. If they have many students application with similar profile, they then to weigh those students credentials and select one and reject other applications.
So, for instance, Minimum GRE Score required for admission into M.S. Computer Science in UTA is 1150, which have increased from 1100 in 2003/2004. Student with GRE Score of 1250 might not get admission, due the reason I have stated above., even thought Average GRE Score is around 1100 to 1200.
Average GRE Scores
Average GRE Scores for different schools includes all the departments and majors and also PhD candidates. I havent seen average GRE Score specif to each department. If I happen to find the scores, I will include and highlight in the future articles.

If you do poorly on your GRE, do not fret. I bombed mine, went to school for Library Science which normally requires a score higher on the GRE than the graduate courses in other fields, and my graduate ranking was #1, and am now a director. I was left with the impression that GRE stands for the Greatest Ripoff in Education. Based on the questionable scoring and success of others, I am inclined to believe I am not alone in this opinion.
So, no matter where you go, do not allow any hob goblin to define you.
In the end, you will get out of a university what you put into it.

Hi
My GRE score is 1120 (verbal- 420. Quant- 700. Analytical writing -4.0). I hold an MSc degree in Biotechnology with 75.2% ( fourth position in university). I' ve got 1 research publication and 1.5 years of job experience. My PhD applications were rejected by Purdue University as well as Michigan State University. I believe that I gave a very good and honest SOP . Now my questions are
1. Is my score good enough to get admission in top 60 universities?
2. Which University you'll suggest for me wnen I apply for the spring admission? I wish to apply for PhD in molecular biology
( plant/ environmental).
Thanks.
Aswathy.
Hi, a suggestion, if they concern abt gre score Quans is a bit less.
But i dont think they consider GRE score for a PhD admission.
You better go for some free online consultancy or any other consultancies.
GRE score is considered for PhD admissions in most of the universities. I suggest you browse through the respective department websites to confirm this and also identify some faculty members with whom you could work and write to them. Some of them might respond but do not expect them to guarantee an admission. However, you will get a clear idea about their interests and the funding situation.
