Hello there!

Before anything else, I'd like to let you know that I'm not planning to get into MIT or any Science / Math course (since I've been seeing almost everyone here with 1500 scores and above). I'll probably take something related to Education, Journalism or International Studies.

Here's my score:

Combined GRE Score: 1220

Verbal - 520
Quants - 700
AWA - 5

Do you guys think this is an okay score?

Thanks!

It depends on the university u want 2 apply to. I will say you have a good score considering u r not gonna apply to top 10 schools. Two of my friends got to University of Cincinnati for PHD in nuclear physics with funding, with a GRE score of close to 1130, Quan around 670 and verbal 460. Their GPA was around 3.6. One of my friend got into University of Oklahoma for petroleum engineering with GRE score of 1100 Quant 650 and verbal 450. His GPA was 3.8. University of Oklahoma is very gud for petroleum engineering. Dont b discouraged by the high scores of ppl in this forum. In my college, ppl just study for a day or two and take this test and end up getting lower than wht u have got. still they make it to masters in reputable universities. One of my friend scored 760 on quant and 460 on verbal and got into University of Michigan for PHD in nuclear engineering which is ranked above MIT for this program. His gpa was 3.74. He scored just 670 on quant and 450 in verbal when he took the GRE for the first time. But then he studied a little bit and improved his quant score alot. U have 700 in quant. A lot of universities excpect u to get around 700 even for engineering programs. So u r fine.Work on your SOP and LOR. I m sure t u will get into ur desired program. Best of luck with everything.

Aww. Thank you so much. I was starting to think I have a really bad score (compared to these geniuses scoring 1590 even 1600!). My GPA's around 3.5 so I guess it's not that bad either. I will now have to really work on my SOP and LOR.

Thank you for your response. I really do appreciate it and I do hope I get into the school I'm applying to.
