Is GRE everything ? Will it do?

[spoiledali]

hi,

I did not have GRE score at the time I applied to Grad School, but I still got the admission from some school raking about 60-70 in my major.

I took the gre & now its 500 in verbal & maths 770. Is there any effect of my poor score of last one? Again I am in a score trap for Toefl its Listening 25 Speaking 24 Writing 24 but Reading 16!!! I didn't answered the extra two last passages but they counted the last two. Any way is TOEFL score that much important ? My one is 89 but in reading its 16!!!


Best wishes to you all.

GRE is not everything. Low GRE Scores will not affect your chances to get admission. With your profile of IEEE paper presentation, will compensate for GRE score of 1060.

Make sure you submit abstract of your paper and good recommendations letter with very strong Statement of purpose. That will definitely increase your chance to get admission.

Apply to schools that have minimum GRE requirements of 1000 to 1100 to improve your chances to get admission with scholarship. ITs not a bad idea to talk to the professors after you have submitted applications.

And again, GRE is not everything.

I agree that GRE is not everything, once you have a trong research background. You should choose universities in diverse rank (some upper universities, some mediate and some low ones)
