  20. Hello, I have GRE score of 147-V, 157-Q, toefl 93, my GPA is 9.56/10 graduated with honors, and 1 year of work experience as supervisor in a manufacturing plant, I have a strong statement of purpose.
    I’m applying to Caltech which is my first option for a master in aerospace engineering, what could be my chances, should I retake the GRE, I already sent the GRE scores, will taking again the GRE and send the scores again enhance the probabilty of getting accepted?

    1. Yes it will increase your chances, if you show a dramatic improvement in both sections of GRE. AS you are applying to Caltech, you need atleast 160 in both sections of GRE, particularly quant. section. Besides, you have not mentioned your AW score. It should also be at least 4.5. However, if you apply to slightly lower ranked schools, say for instance between 50 to 80, then you have good chance, under the condition that you raise you verbal score to about 155. Thats all I can say.

    I just took my GRE (301/340): Verbal 147/170 and Quant 154/170. I am not very happy with the score, but I dont think I have time to re-take it before the deadlines. I am a New Zealand citizen and have completed my Bachelors in Biotechnology with a GPA of 3.2/4.0 and Masters in Biological Sciences with a GPA of 3.8/4.0 from University of Aucland NZ. I have also graduated with MBA in Biosciences, Marketing and Innovation Management from North Carolina State University with a GPA of 3.63 in May 2011. I want to pursue PhD in Biological Sciences mainly Cellular and Molecular Developement with full financial aid.

    I am applying to:

    Columbia University
    University of Colorado Boulder
    University of Wymoming
    Portland State University
    Boise State University.

    What are my chances of getting into these with financial aid? Also could you kindly let me know if there are any more universities that will help me financially and where my chances of acceptance are good?

    Thank you

  47. Hello
    I just took the GRE today.

    Verbal-159
    Quant.-150
    GPA-3.5, small school, degree psychology

    I want to apply to graduate program, preferably phd but masters if I have to

    I am not sure degree. My plan was experimental psychology but I am interested in any field psychology.

    I have research project submitted to national conference. Nothing groundbreaking.

    I have 7 years work experience in business management and I have won lots of awards in that. So, I would also consider phd in business.

    I know this is mostly engineering but o would be grateful for any suggestions on what programs to apply to. My dream school was ucla but thats out with my gre-q school so I need some direction. I will Probablly study and retake but I font think I’ll increase scores enough for the big guys.

    Please advise!

      all the way you are much better in all your profile expect btech thats not a big matter .my suggestion is to concentrate on rutgers university which is the state university of new jersey…..

      1. Thanks Nandini… i would definitely do that… and what is u r take on the rest of the schools i mean i need to make a final list and start applying by mid dec right. I know i am being too specific. but it would be great if u could suggest any omissions in the list and suggest some new schools. Thanks

        1. dont be too late first concentrate on rutgers my second option is texas a&m in your list….it becomes too late to your application for spring2012….i am sure you will get the admission if you apply now without any delay…..for the rutgers make you own choices for the other schools to your final list arvind….i am sorry for the remaining…gud luck

          1. alright i will get on with rutgers and TAMU as of now i have already made applications to Penn State & Cornell…. (i doubt admit @ cornell though. so i think i will eliminate purdue and get along with the rest!!!! thanks for the info nandini

      could you suggest me how much TOEFL score is required for admission in MS (FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY).I am going to take it in jan. first week.please reply.

        U need to get a Toefl anywhere above 79 just to qualify for the minimum requirements. but according to a lot of people a score above 90 with a minimum of 21+ in each module will be great. U also need to refer to univ websites for the exact details of the min TOEFL requirements but this is the overview……

        I’m not certain, but as far as I know, I don’t think that there is any fixed way to convert to CGPA. I’d read somewhere online that a 77% in History from Delhi University would hold much more weight than the same, say from some less well known university, looking at how tough it is to score in that paper in the given university. So I don’t think that there is one, unique answer.

        But, just as a guage, you can take your marks, divide by the highest marks that were obtained in your class, and multiply by 4. 🙂

          1. Yikes, so sorry! I was thinking it was on a scale of 4. If you want it out of 10, then instead of multiplying by 4, simply multiply by 10. 🙂

          2. Its fine.. First i was surprised to see 3.74/10.00 after multiplying by 4. 😀 then i multiplied it by 10 and got right answer.. 🙂

          3. Haha, really sorry! I was thinking on a scale of 4 because US universities ask for GPA on a scale of 4 na..! 😀 And then I noticed that Suhasini’s comment was something out of ten. Then I was like – ‘Yikes!’ 😛

  100. Hi all,

    Does anyone know anything about the admission process at the mech engineering department at the university of wyoming for a PhD? I searched around the web but i couldn’t find any information beside those provided by the university.

    Thx for help

  101. gre score 980(690+290) awa 3.0
    ielts over all 7.0
    acads 74%
    opting for ms in EE
    suggest me some good universities such that i can get into them for FALL 2012

    1. Vijay do you think you can get admission with this score in EE. Because I have got almost the same score. But People have straight forwardly discouraged me that I Cant get admission with such scores. What do you say? BTW I am applying for Renewable energy.

  102. I got a GRE quant score of 156 and verbal score of 152. AWA-3.5. TOEFL 109/120. My CPI is 8.42/10. Please suggest some good universities where I can take an MS in petroleum engineering course as I am a B.tech in petroleum engineering.

  103. Hey HSB,
    I have scored 310 in Revised General GRE; 155 in Quant. and 155 in verbal. My AWA score is 4.0. My TOEFL (iBT) score is 115.
    I have already applied to several universities for PhD program in Clinical Psychology. I have applied to only those universities where I have had one to one correspondence at least twice with the Professors who are willing to consider me as their student. I have some research and clinical experience, and several paper presentations at national conferences. I had been very involved in extra curricular activities throughout my undergraduate college days and I have been among the top 2% students throughout Bachelors and Masters degree (both from Delhi University).
    What chances do I have at admission? I have taken GRE Psychology in Nov. and results are awaited. My GRE scores are not as good as my friends who got through last year but I have a better resume. Please help!

    1. Hi Anushree,

      First of all, since you’ve already corresponded with professors there, half the battle is won. (My dad had told me numerous times to do so, but..!) To add to that, Delhi University is, in my opinion, *the* top university in India, and it really carries a reputation. Mine is far from an expert opinion, but I really feel that you have an excellent chance at admission. Where all have you applied? I too gave the GRE Mathematics Subject paper in November, and I’m still looking out for the results. All the best, I’m sure something good will work out for you! 🙂

      1. hi gayatri,
        how was GRE-maths? For which courses do u need it ?
        (Actually I saw very few people aiming 4 pure science courses)

        I myself am aiming 4 MS-‘applied mathematics’ or MS-in mathematics’ …
        .The univs r asking 4 gre-math,but the next available date in India is in april,2012……Till then de univ deadlines would be over….

        So I am just applying without it… please reply…

        1. I think it was more or less decent. Almost all universities require GRE Mathematics for Ph.D. in Mathematics (I think perhaps in Applied as well..)

          Oh, do you need GRE Subject for MS too? Hmm.. I suggest the best thing you could do is to contact the department and tell them that this is the situation, because I have a feeling that sometimes universities do say that GRE Subject is preferred, but not necessary. Anyhow, asking them would be the best option.

          Because, the thing is – if you do apply without the GRE Subject, and you submit your application, there *might* be universities that would not even consider an incomplete application. So that much of your time, money and effort would have been wasted. So just ask them. In the worst case scenario, give it in April, and apply for 2013, and in the meanwhile, join someplace for M.Sc. in India so you can have one more extra year to learn.

          All the best, hope everything pans out ok.

      2. Thanks for the best wishes. I have seen a lot my friends with a better profile apply and not get through… so i’m really unsure of my chances. Any idea anyone what US Professors are interested to know about us if we are summoned for interview?

        All the best to you Gayatri for your application process. And your are right. At several universities Subject GRE is recommended, at some mandatory and at other not required. Often this is mentioned in the Graduate school application page or departmental page. And one can always mail to confirm. They are very prompt in giving replies. So Aditya, do confirm before applying. All the best to you also.

  104. Dear HSB

    I don’t know what’s happening to you lately. All of your blog entries seems to have gracefully degraded in its quality. I hate to break the ice, but this post is highly misleading especially relating mere GRE scores to such a broad spectrum word ‘Profile’.

    PS: If this is one of your tricks to lure more aspiring students into reading your blog then I guess it must work.

      1. I know you are doing a great job but please mention that every application will be reviewed holistically and this GRE score will play only a part of it!!!! See there are many other sites which care only about the number of hits and not the students, but HSB does not fall into that category and I believe the info that HSB gives is more than perfect when compared with other sites..

        1. Technically, I think HSB has mentioned numerous times that the GRE scores are not the be all, end all of the admissions process. Also, I don’t think universities would make things like the complete profile of admitted students public.

          If people are really interested in some course in some university, then one should go to that particular department of the university, look at the current students, and then look up their website (they almost always have a link to their webpage). Mostly, these students also have links on their webpage to their CV and Research, so by going through that, we’d have a pretty fair idea as to the profile of students getting admitted in that stream for that college.

    1. Hi youknowme,

      I read your post, and I must say that your profile is really impressive! First of all, I had no idea that ETH, Zurich accepted GRE scores, but it seems to me that you have a really good chance if you manage to get good LORs and write a dynamic SOP. What about UCB, UIUC, University of Chicago? They’re really good, and would definitely appreciate your well-rounded application.
