GymShorts Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I think I remember reading somewhere that the average quantitative GRE score is 760 for econ PhD students at top-30 schools (maybe it was top 50). Since most people in top-30 programs are getting 770+ math GRE scores, this means that at least some top 30 schools are accepting a considerable number of 750- GRE scores. Or many schools are admitting a few. What are your thoughts about this? What schools are these? I would suspect it would be the smaller programs that get fewer applications (there are a few in the 30), because they would be the least likely to use a filter.

hubrishedge Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I really doubt that the average Q GRE for the top 30 is 760. Here's some (outdated) data on GRE scores. Graduate Studies in Economics In 2002, the average among top 30 programs was 772. It also has the breakdown of averages by tier, so it might answer some of your questions.

asianeconomist Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yeah. That definitely sounds low. For Top 20, the average should be somewhere around 780. But that's completely non-fact-based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
