GRE Scores and Universities – Q&A 3

By HSB 

This is third edition of GRE Scores and Universities – Questions and Answers. I have been busy with work and other stuffs lately, haven’t written any informative and researched article in a while. But, in order to help the visitors, I’m responding to numerous comments as article posts. This saves me time and I get to answers your questions.

hi i have got 1100 in gre 380-V 720-Q could u pls suggest some universities to which i can apply

There is no way I can suggest universities based on amount of information you have provided.

yaw ampofoh

i have a gre score of 750, which graduate school in the us woud accept my score. thanks

If you happen to read most of my comments, I usually recommend students to take GRE Exam again, if the score in less than 1000 for most of the masters program. For GRE Score 750 you will have to definitely think to taking GRE Test again. [ low gre score universities ]

hi, this is sathya.
in my gre , i ended up gettin a 1040(350+690,awa-3),
toefl was 103 and,
i’m doin comp science and i have an aggre of 66.4% in VTU.(bangalore,karnataka)
so, can u guys suggest me any good univs in US and my chances of gettin a scholarship there.
thanks.

Can you get Admission into Graduate School with GRE Score 1040 – Yes, you can.

Chances of getting admission with scholarship – Very hard chance. Majority of students don’t get admission with scholarship who apply to schools with GRE Score less than 1200.

Hello,

I have done with my GRE and TOEFL examinations..My scores are as follows
GRE-900
TOEFL-89
I did my Engineering in CS with an aggregate of 67%.
My would be is working in US with L1 visa, so I will be getting an L2.
Can someone please suggest me can I get into some university in New Jersey with this score..
Please do Reply me..
Thanks in advance..

You will have to get the list of Universities that are located near the place here you will stay and select graduate schools to apply. What if colleges near your place don’t accept GRE score 900, are you willing to travel or stay away from home? You have to decide on that.

I will be appearing for GRE in 1st week of Jan.09 . will it be O.K. to come in fall 2009 admissions. I expect my score to be @ 1200+ , considering this what university options i should give as it is asked during TOFEL registration. kindly guide.

You have enough time to apply to universities for Fall 2009. Send your profile after you have your GRE Exam Score. I have separate page that will help you prepare for GRE EXam, check it out.

apart from the above i have got merit scholarships and ample extracurricular awards and certificates.
can u please help me out if i can get into a gud grad school and suggest a few.

please help me out.

All your achievements will definitely help you to get admission, but with score 1050, it will be tough chance to get admission with scholarship. Since you have 3 International Papers, Find schools and professors who are doing research similar to topic you have paper presented and apply to such schools. Alos, talk to the professors. Here’s email template to contact the professors.

I am going to apply to University of Texas at Austin for MS Electrical engineering. My GRE scores are V/Q 480/750. I have good academic score i.e top 2% in my college. What r my chances to get admitted with financial aid??

I would double check before applying to UT Austin with your GRE Score. University of Texas at Austin is very competitive school, students with better scores will also apply.

sravan

hi…i have all together of nearly 20 backlogs in b.tech with an aggregate of around 55%.is it good to go for gre or ilets.?do i have any chances for getting visa for us if i have a good gre score(above 1100) ?plz help me……….

Yes, you can appear for GRE Exam and IELTS, but can you get admission with 20 back logs, I’m not sure. Give it a try. Since you said IELTS, you can try other countries like Australia, UK, Germany for Masters degree.

ashwini

i scored a 1140 in GRE(690-Q, 450-V). i am from the pharmacy field. wanted to apply for majors in pharmaceutics/pharmaceutical sciences. good academics, 2 publications, one in pipeline. do u see my chances of getting thru

I see you have good chance of getting admission, so go ahead and start selecting universities and apply.  You can use the average gre scores to select univerities based on your GRE Test score.

I dont mind in retaking GRE but the worry is i may get late for application as I have heard chances of scholarship increases if u apply as early as possible. So if I write my GRE again in september then i may get my score card by end of october and hence
    whole application process will get extended to november….

    Kindly shed light on my concern as soon as possible so that I can make decision accordingly…..

    Please reply me soon……It wud be a gr8 help

    • vivek says:

      • mona says:

        @Vivek
        thanks a lot for your kind reply…It means I can retake gre in September last week provided I finish up my application process by end of november….

    @Jayaraman
    Thank you very much Mr. Jayaraman. I am obliged that u read my message and replied. But i have very less in TOEFL writing section-15 otherwise I have 22+ in all other 3 section.
    I was thinking if I should take the TOEFL 1ce again.

  66. jayaraman says:

    @ praveena
    I see you have good chances in the list except northeastern university…BUt try it….
    its a moderate /ambi I feel for u….put more effort to show ur research interest and
    you can crack….ASK others too…..

  67. jayaraman says:

    @ moiz
    I think u qualify for all the univs u have listed…..don worry…

  68. jayaraman says:

    hey ppl…I far as I know ge s not the one factor for admission.I have seen universities putting up avg gre scores.one particular university(good one)(don remember)…have posted internl students have a avg verb of 370s n quants of 710
    compared to 427 & 680s of us students.I have gone through blogs and found that the universities generally forgive low verbal scores…(but keep it >300).If u have a low gre ie900-1100 and aiming for mediocre univs….don look for cutoffs…these univesities wont follow their cutoffs…make sure u qualify for admission in toefl…

  81. mohit jain says:

    I have given my GRE on 15th oct 08.Got 1220 (Quant: 750, verbal: 470).
    Though my marks are not that good but as from my experience and heard from news that GRE is now tougher then past… For eg Compared to Aug 2008, oct 2008 gre papers and database is much more difficult especially in quant section and vocab words. So whether universities consider these aspects in admission process?
    I have applied to 4 universities through ETS on gre day according to my marks:
    1) Texas A& M college station,
    2) Texas Arlington,
    3) Texas Dallas and
    4) Temple University (PS).

    Dream university:
    Texas Austin
    My BE agg till sem 6: 59% and third year’s agg : 63%. (From Mumbai University- branch: Information Technology) .I have given my TOFFL on 15th Nov. What are the chances of getting admission to good universities in US? Can you suggest me some good universities? I want to do MS in CS (n/w or security, or mobile technology). Also suggest some good fields in CS (as per demand or so)? What are the job prospects after MS (as there seems an economic downfall of US at present)? And hence is it good time to go for MS in such conditions?
    About my profile, I have some extra curricular certificates which are as:
     Event Head for Technical Paper Presentation in IEEE & CSI Technical festival “ZEPHYR’ 07”
     Part Time entrepreneurship- Experience of Network marketing and worked as silver Associate for 2 years for ebiz.com pvt.ltd.

  83. Joseph says:

    I’m applying for a Fall 2009 admission for a MS or PhD in Computer Science.

    GRE – 760q, 490v
    GPA – 3.11/4.00

    My work experience consists of a 6 month internship with IBM as a software engineer co-op and as a research assistant at Stanford University (current job).

    My recommendation letters are coming from one of my previous professors whom I share the same research interests with, the director of the research center at Stanford University, and the VP of software engineering at another company.

    What can I do to increase my chances of getting into a choice school? My GPA is low, but my GRE scores don’t seem high enough (1400+) to outweigh it.

    Thanks,
    Joseph
