GRE score good enough/

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi guys, I just took my GRE score last week and I'm wondering if I should retake it. However, the deadlines for assistanceships are less than a month away. I am a Mechanical Engineering undergrad from Purdue. </p>

<p>GPA & coreGPA: 3.54</p>

<p>Verbal: 158
Quant: 160
AW: still waiting</p>

<p>I have had research experience in HVAC and am currently researching in the area of combustion. I do believe that I will get solid LORs. </p>

<p>Schools I am applying to:
GeorgiaTech
Purdue
Wisconsin Madison
UIUC
Michigan - Ann Arbor
Minnesota </p>

<p>Please let me know what are your thoughts!! Thanks!</p>

<p>Are you applying for PhD programs? Either way, I would think that if you are applying for funded master’s or PhD programs a 78th percentile Q score for an engineering program would be too low. That’s not my field, though.</p>

<p>I am applying for a Masters Program. Thanks for your reply!</p>

<p>Your Q is terribly low for a MechE, although I am not entirely sure that the programs you are applying for care that much about the GRE. However, a score below 80th percentile may raise some concerns on your intellectual capability as an engineer. </p>

<p>Wouldn’t Purdue be a shoo-in for an accelerated MS since you were an undergrad there?</p>
