I Scored 630 in GRE Exam – Admission Chances?

in GRE

One of the readers had left a comment

My GRE Score is 630, can I get admission in U.S. Universities?

No other information related to major, course, degree was mentioned in the comment. But, in any case, getting admission in U.S. schools with GRE Score of 630 is  close to impossible. Many schools require to have atleast 600 in GRE Quantitative section and 400+ in GRE Verbal.

But, there are schools where GRE Exam Score is not required for admission into Graduate degree programs. You can certainly apply to those schools. But before applying, why not take GRE again?

I haven’t come across any schools that require minimum GRE below 850. I have seen universities and college that require atleast 850 in GRE, but not lower than that for engineering major programs. Maybe if there could be schools  with programs that require GRE minimum of 600.

But, mu suggestion would be to re-take  exam or apply to schools where GRE is not required for admission.

Dear Sajan and Verma!

Hi Anne
it is not the books alone that helps one to get the high score of 1400 plus.it is the practice,practice, practice and keen desire to excel, highly motivated to be at the top of the world.
to outperform
to test ones ability
to go to the extra mile

keen burning desire
never ever to give up
ask not what the books can do
but ask what you can do to the books
and exams
be a inner winner
be a roll model of tireless working
in smart way
be ambitious
work , practice
arise awake and stop not till the goal is reached
discard your sleep, discard tv, and spend as much time as you can with practice of gre test, mock test, work and
focused on one thing at a time
result will come as you wish
take it or leave it friend
cheers
easwaran

i used the kaplan comprehensive approach and the barons. admissions does not depend only on the GRE, it also depends on your GPA and your statement of purpose. 1200 is preety good but u need to strenghteh the other side also.

18 Anne October 1, 2009 at 7:22 AM

Yes U r right but my percentage was 76.8 and statement was purpose was good enough I guess and I was late in applying ,I think that caused my regrettal of admission.Thank you very much for replying.I am really grateful indeed.

i think so you rather take GRE again as there are minimal chances for you to get admission in good university, well you can apply for some university that doesn’t require GRE but that wouldn’t be a wise choice and moreover ur chances of getting visa would be quite low or say impossible
