<p>I got a 163Q (Around a 780 on the old GRE, i think?) and I am applying to M.S. ChemE programs at Stanford, Purdue, USC, Rice, Texas A&M, and GA Tech. Would this quantitative score suffice?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Absolutely would suffice.</p>
<p>good enough but 800 is better :]</p>
<p>Probably good enough. Though, I once overheard a grad admissions staff member in the CS department at my school (I major in CS) arguing with a professor because she wanted to toss a PhD application because the applicant only had a 760 and the professor was saying, “It’s only a 760. It’s not bad; I really like this student and really want to have him!”</p>
<p>I’m not applying to PhD (don’t even plan on doing research as a “career”), so since I’m just doing M.S., would they be more lenient?</p>
<p>I got into a number of top 10 grad schools with a 720, which was something like 83 percentile. I asked around my department and all my professors said it wouldn’t be a problem, though I do wonder with one or two of the schools I was rejected with.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me if applying to Stanford M.S. is a waste of application fee? I have a 3.5 overall and 3.68 major in ChemE at UT Austin, so with my GRE+ research+ TA work experience+ 2 summer internships , do I stand a chance?</p>
<p>@iambored10: You can post chance requests on Grad Cafe. There, people in your major who are currently grad students can chance you. You can also look at results from past admission cycles.</p>
