<p>I'm so sorry that my first post had to be asking a question like this, but i'm really tense and am not really sure what i should do.</p>
<p>I've just gotten back from giving my GRE, and i score 720 in the quantitative, and 510 in the verbal section. I'm fairly certain my analytical section went well.
I gave my TOEFL iBT last week, and am expecting a score somewhere above a 100.</p>
<p>Finally, I'm interested in majoring in Digital Signal Processing (Electrical Engineering Department), and i've sent my scores to Georgia Institute of Technology, Boston University, USC and North Carolina State.</p>
<p>I wanted to know how much importance these colleges put on the english score, as far as accepting graduate students for engineering goes.</p>
<p>Thanks!
Any help would be much appreciated! :)</p>
<p>For a non-native speaker in engineering, the verbal score has almost no impact; in fact, even for native speakers, the verbal portion is often quite low for engineers who get accepted into top programs. As long as your TOEFL is high enough to meet university standards, then you should be fine. A bigger issue may be the quantitative score… Top engineering programs like Georgia Tech like to see close-to-800s. Still, if the rest of your profile is first-rate, your score should be high enough to be a non-issue.</p>
<p>Please understand that I have no special insight into the schools where you are applying. Some may care deeply about the GREs, while others merely glance at them. Usually, however, the GRE is the least important aspect of an application.</p>
<p>I’m a non native speaker. I got a 116 in my TOEFL out of 120.</p>
<p>My CGPA is 3.5
I’m working on a research paper involving signal processing with a few students and a professor.
I think overall, my application package would look pretty good.</p>
<p>If english really is a non issue, then i think i could go ahead and apply with these scores.</p>
