I wanted to know which universities i could apply to. I have a GRE score of 1120 and a GPA of 3.5..

I recently took the GRE. I got a 600 on the verbal, 560 on the quantitative and a 5.5 on the writing portion. Unlike most other people posting on here, my verbal skills are better than my math. Here’s my question: I want to apply for the Master’s in Counseling Psychology program at a local public university in MD. Do you think my scores are good enough? They only take about 1 in 5 people who apply. Of course, other factors are considered: personal statement, letters of recommendation, etc. My undergrad overall GPA was 3.42. Just thought I would throw this question out there before I waste to apply. Thanks for any help!
Thanks for all of the advice! My school of choice states only "acceptable performance" is required for the GRE. I applied as non-degree seeking last year, but they wouldn’t let me sign up for relevant classes (limited them to degree seeking only). Guess that defeated the purpose of trying to take classes and then getting them to transfer! In any case, I will apply and cross my fingers. Thanks again!

I am signed up to take a GRE prep course in March. I am in favor of the standardized test like the SAT and such but I really don’t agree with the weight that the GRE holds when applying for graduate school. Think about it. Most go to college and major in ONE thing. For me, I was a Public Relations major. I was required to take only 3 hours worth of math. Yet, I have to do an entire section of math on the GRE and it isn’t all basic math either. Plus, the vocabulary section is crap. It asks you for definitions of words that are not commonly used. Seriously, the meanings of some of those words are outdated and NOBODY uses them in the form that is being asked. If we have to take the exam, fine, but schools shouldn’t put the bulk of their decision on the score. They need to look at all factors like GPA, etc.It all needs to be balanced equally. I was good enough to get into college and graduate but the GRE is trying make us prove we are good enough to keep going? What do you guys think?

pls help me out. some say they get high scores just by memorizing intro psy books. is it true? i did not get very high gpa. i did not study very well in uni. you think 3 months of preparation for gre is enough?

I want to take the GRE in a month. I have a really good undergrad GPA but SUCK at test taking. The program I am applying to requires the GRE, but there is not an entrance score requirement. I’m thinking about just going and taking it on the computer and not messing with studying. (I have been out of school for 5 yrs. and have job experience.) To get accepted, they just want you to have a good undergrad GPA, 3 letters of reference, work experience, and TAKEN the GRE…what would you do?

I need to get a high score due to having a low gpa.

I am a pretty good student, my GPA is a 3.9. Out of all of the programs I am applying to, only one university requires the GRE. The prep course in my area is 0, and I really can’t afford it. Will I be OK if I just get a GRE prep book to study with? Please only answer if you actually know, thanks

I took my GRE exam today. My weak side was English and my strong side I thought was Math. Apparently, the grade I got was very Shocking. I got 370 in Math and 350 in English. When I took the exam, Math did not seem hard at all and I was expecting a 450+. My GPA is only 2.7. I know I should re take my GRE, but as of know what are the chances of getting into an ok Graduate School?
Well I know my GPA is low, My first two year of college I really did bad and improved there on. First two year of college, I was not focused and did not care much and it is causing me a lot of hassle. I have been getting mostly B’s And few A’s but my GPA not changing much. My Undergraduate degree is in environmental science and I already work for the Federal Government. I want to do my masters in Geography/GIS, and i already got some certification in GIS.

I am planning to give my gre exam in july of this year.. is it okay if i have a history of two arrears?
ll i get into a good college in usa with a history of two arrears n a gpa around 7.7???

If the whole law school thing doesn’t work out (which I’ll be bummed if it doesn’t,) then there are a couple of fields I always thought I’d like to study: Political Science or Geography.

I have a 3.25 GPA at the University of Louisville, which I think is a pretty good institution. What GRE score would I have to have to be competitive for schools like U. of Washington-Seattle, U. of Georgia, U. of Florida, U. of Texas, Rice, etc. (I don’t want to attend an "elitist" school, but still an institution with a great reputation.)

Thank you!
