Can GRE outrule GPA

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm an Art History student looking to get into a good art history grad program. Unfortunately my GPA is below average (3.2). What are the odds my GRE scores v-710 (98th percentile) m-730(80th percentile) would make grad schools forgive my C's in chemistry and german (I did perfectly fine in French)? My major GPA is 3.8. Is it possible, with those scores and that GPA, to get into a top-10 Grad school program. </p>

<p>On the side i have a research internship at the Denver Art Museum and fairly solid letter's of rec.</p>

<p>I guess the final and ultimate question is - what is more important GPA or GRE?</p>

<p>You should ask this question in the grad school forum. Click on Discussion Home in the upper-left of this screen, and then scroll down to find it.</p>

<p>Are you still in college? Make an appointment with your department advisor so that you can discuss this issue. He/she should be able to tell you which programs will consider your major GPA to be good enough.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>Thank you, I’ll definitely move it. I have gone to my two department advisers and they are, as usual, completely useless and have told me they don’t anything about grad school admission processes.</p>
