<p>I just want to know if applying to a MA/PhD program in NYU, Columbia, and UPenn with the following GRE scores (V: 610, Q: 510, W: 5.5, and Subject GRE: 630) is definitely a no-no so I should just forget about it and apply somewhere else, a low profile college or something.</p>
<p>(I'm Mexican, so my English level is measured by that of international students. Got a 657 on PBT Toefl, though).</p>
<p>I’m not an expert about the GRE, but having recently gone thru the PhD process (not MD/PhD) process with my older son, it seemed to me that the Q score is expected to be very high…well over 700 for science kinds of majors…which I’m thinking MD/PhD would expect. Schools seem to be very forgiving about the Verbal.</p>
<p>Also, it seems to me that those accepted into MD/PhD programs are the cream of the crop…those with spectacular GPAs, MCATs, and GREs. </p>
<p>What is your MCAT score and “BCMP GPA” and “cum GPA”? </p>
<p>Are you attending a US undergrad? </p>
<p>That said, it’s very, very hard for int’l students to get accepted into US med schools anyway. Do you know how many those SOMs accept?</p>
<p>Wait, isn’t this question about MA/PhD programs, not MD/PhD programs? If so, you might want to post here: [Graduate</a> School - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/graduate-school/]Graduate”>Graduate School - College Confidential Forums).</p>
<p>Depends on the program; though if you’re doing a Subject GRE I’m assuming its quantitative. Any reason you are focused only on East Coast schools (or did I just answer my own question)?</p>
<p>If your Q score is important for your subject, yours is too low.</p>
