Very helpful in making a decision! Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing the case studies
Video is little vague. You should have covered other aspects about their overall profile, and their GPA and work experience because this is what plays a major role while applying
You are right. Here are their profiles:
A (who sent his scores) - 8.2 GPA from BITS, 3 yrs work ex
B (who did not send scores) - 9.2 GPA from VTU, 3 yrs work ex including 1 research paper
Thanks for this video!
Should a score of 318 (Q - 160, V - 158, AWA - 5) be sent for MS in CS to universities with optional GRE?
Additional profile details -
2 years work ex with 1 research paper
Very Helpful Ma'am
Hey, I got a GRE score of 300(q-161,v-139) is it worth sending scores to the university with an optional GRE for a data science course?
Can I get funding without GRE score as it is waved in so many universities now a days and how should I approach for funding ? My subject is CS and research interest is machine learning.
Hi, I have 5 years of ex in Data Analytics and looking forward for MSBA program. I got 8.13 in my engg. I haven't taken GRE yet. Shall I give GRE?
I have a GRE score of 320 (160 in Q and V) and I have a non engineering background and applying for MSBA programs. Is this worth submitting?
My TOEFL is 91 only, should I send my GRE:310(Q:161 V:149 AWA:3) if i am applying for top 10 MSOR(Master of Science in Operation Research)
Hi..my cgpa is 7.1...GRE.315...quant.161...V..154...shall i send score to GRE optional universities... please respond
How much benefit does one get in applying early? I've seen you mention on LinkedIn that applying early, SoPs, LoRs play a greater role than GRE.
Right now, I have a GRE score of 307 (163 Q, 144 V and scored almost 10 marks less than what I was in powerprep mock tests), 8 CGPA, 2 years work ex and should be done with my SoP and LoRs by this month end (Oct). There are 2 cases I'm stuck with right now:
1.) I apply by this month end for MEM programs (most MEM programs do have GRE as optional) with a low GRE score of 307, Q: 163
2.) Or retake it and apply by Nov end/ Dec 1st week with a better score of 315+ & Q: 165+.
Which scenario would you suggest here? Will applying early by a month compensate for my low GRE score?
Your advice would really help me here!
307 is low. If you think you can score 315+, it might be worth retaking (if many of your target schools are asking for gre).
For the schools who do not need gre, you shouldn’t wait n apply early.
For schools that are keeping it optional, it’s your call but 307 is not worth submitting.
@@NisthaTripathi Hey, I got my gre today and I was not expecting 50% of multi choice answers questions with so lengthy paper. I managed to get 304 with verbal 140 and quant 164. My CGPA is 8.58 with 1 year exp at PWC. Can you please guide what to do now . I want to apply for the mem programs. I have sent my scores to Purdue, duke , north Carolina State and San Jose State. What are my chances. My SOP and LORs are ready.
I'm applying for MSBA courses and have 2 GRE scores 319(Q162/V157) and 311(Q166/V145) . I'm not sure which score would serve well to get into ambitious and moderately ambitious universities
You can send both
I am currently doing BE in Computer Engineering. I have GRE score of 299 with 159 Quants and 140 verbal. with overall cgpa of 9.5 and done 3 internships during my bachelors course. how much should i score in ielts? should i send my gre scores or apply without gre score?
You should not send your GRE score, won't help you
How should we handle in the following case.... [GRE: Not Considered..... The Admission Committee will not have access to your self reported or Official GRE General Scores.]
No point in sending if it’s not considered (that’s different from optional)
Hi, I have a gre score of 316
V 152
Q 164
Is it worth sending the scores?
It is up to you. You can if you want
I have taken the GRE twice:
165 Q + 151 V = 316 and 4.5 AWA
164 Q + 153 V = 317 and 5 AWA
TOEFL: 109 (with 25+ in each section)
CGPA: 8.57
Exp: 2yrs
1 research paper in IEEE
1. Do you think I should send any of these GRE scores? If so, which one?
2. Some uni have it optional so can I specify it in the online application but not send it through ETS?
Thanks a lot in advance!
You can send either of those, preferably first one
@@ScholarStrategyTV Thanks! When some uni have the GRE optional, is it advisable to mention the scores in the online application but not send it through ETS? Thank you!
What was you major?
@@faryalsocials6317 I have a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management, which involved lots of statistics, Operations Research, Analytics, and more. I'm currently working as a Data Scientist at HP Inc and planning to apply for MS Data Science programs in Fall '23.
Hi,
my score is 321 (Q- 170/170 and V- 151/170). I am aiming for top 20 colleges for Ms in computer science. is this quant score gonna give me an edge over others? Is it possible to get into top 20 Universities with this GRE scores?
yes its a good score, worth reporting
@@ScholarStrategyTV Thanks 🙌
I have a quant of 166 and verbal of 168. 334 is a good score but 166Q is kind of average for Indians. I’m applying to very selective and math heavy t10 courses. Should I send it?
You should send it everywhere if it’s optional
Even after having such an exceptional score of 334 , I wonder how can people doubt themselves 😶
If we got admit in GRE waived university, can we talk about our GRE scores along with IELTS score? Is this required.
Where are you going to talk about it?
@@ScholarStrategyTV sorry my bad forgot to type.
In visa interviews.
@@mayushadoddapaneni9528 Yes you can
My score is 147 V and 166Q should I send to optional universities total score 313 awa 3.5
Can skip
308 GRE score, with quant 161 and verbal 147, should I send ? Thank you
It probably won’t help you to send it.
Thank you
My GRE is 310 (163 in Q, 147 in V)
I lie in middle 😂 what to do now? 😂
Haha yes. You can skip sending it if you want to save some money
What about a 325+ but a Quant less than 165?
I have a 326, with q 164 and v 162
Send it.
Can I get funding without GRE score as it is waved in so many universities now a days and how should I approach for funding ? My subject is CS and research interest is machine learning.
Yes, a university can not preclude you from aid if it is keeping GRE waived itself.
How to approach for funding is a whole different topic. Check out our funding masterclass on courses.scholarstrategy.com where I have covered it in extensive detail
