<p>Has anyone else been accepted to the PE grad program for fall 2010?</p>
<p>I don’t think TAMU looks at best combined GRE score. With your GPA barely above a 3.0, to be competitive at UT and TAMU you are going to need to raise your GRE – especially your Quantitative section to atleast >750, and your Verbal to atleast >500.</p>
<p>I have applied to a lot of the same schools that you have. Like you, I am an international student and I’m hoping to get into one of the MS Programs in petroleum engineering.</p>
<p>Have you heard back from any of the schools at this stage? I am hoping that they’ll get back to us soon…</p>
