check out their websites and minimum/recommended or previous student scores. i’m not familiar with biology GREs, but i imagine to be competitive your quant needs to be improved slightly and definitely for the verbal (at the least 450). also consider the university’s policies about accepting foreign students. they may not emphasize the verbal gre score if your toefll scores are good. writing samples to submit would be a good thing too. main point: check with the schools to which you are applying for more information.
Hi,
I took GRE last month. The verbal section was tough enough. I got 680 in quantitative and 230 in verbal. I want to apply for PhD in USA. I have good research experience. My question is can I still apply for good Universities like Texas or Ohio in biology field with this score or I have to take the exam again?
