I got a 720 math 360 verbal. My M.S. GPA is close to a 4.0.

I got into Georgia Tech. Why? Because I had over 7 published papers.

Research experience >>> standardized test scores.

In fact, Illinois, Purdue, and MIT don’t require (and don’t consider) GRE scores in the application process. That’s what they say on their websites.

Do research, not standardized test scores.

Reply

20 ken March 22, 2010 at 1:23 AM

there is still hope for 2.85..

above 2.5 is considered the end of the spectrum.
it still depends on resume, gre, etc.

but don’t expect to get into top programs. U can count on the programs that rank 30th or above. Below that it is a slim chance..

which school did you go to if I may know ??

best of luck

for marks above 1100 ,try them once but they may not assure u a placement
