What's considered a good GRE score?

[Sage75]

I've heard conflicting accounts of what are good and bad scores? If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.

What does GRE score have to do with medical school?

[shayloure]

The poster must be someone who's going to graduate school to boost up his gpa and transcripts in order to get in to medical school in the next 1-2 years.

This is exactly why I'm asking. I have been rejected from all US med schools I applied to and am still waiting to hear back from SMU and SGU for the Jan '08 and Szeged for Fall '07. i need to think of back up plans.

I do not know if they still use the same score system... where perfect for math is 800 and verbal is 800..


A friend of mine... [international friend from taiwan] scored
math: 800/800
verbal: 450/800
got into Rutgers Toxicology Ph.D. program

But remember, shez a international student
why accetped?
math 800 stands that they can think critically fine.
verbal... well.. its not their first langauge so of course they will do bad in it.

Is a GRE score like the SAT of graduate school? Is it required for applying to a master's program or is it just brownie points to show how well rounded you are in the subjects?

[ericismyname]

Most require it and is used as a weed out.

[Compassion MD]

Depends on what kind of graduate school... Busines they use GMAT and or most others, they use GRE...

It is not brownie points to show how well rounded you are in the subjects, it is required. I have not seen any graduate school that doesn't use GMAT or GRE at all, unless you apply outside of USA
