<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>So I'm currently applying to both masters of science in pure math and masters of science in financial math programs.</p>
<p>I noticed that although all schools require you to send the General GRE score, as far as the math subject test is concerned:</p>
<ol>
<li>some require the subject GRE scores</li>
<li>some recommend it</li>
<li>and the rest just say not required</li>
</ol>
<p>I was wondering how high do you think the Math Subject test score should be so that you send it with your application to schools that fall under the 3rd category.</p>
<p>The reason I ask is because I got waitlisted at Boston University for Financial Math, and am wondering if I should send my GRE subject test scores to strengthen my app.</p>
<p>Also, two other schools of mine that I'm applying to for pure math masters, Virginia Tech and University of Florida don't require the GRE subject test scores.</p>
<p>Here's my specific situation:</p>
<p>Math Subject test GRE scores: (660, 56%) first attempt
(720, 70%) second attempt</p>
<p>General GRE scores: (640 V, 800 Q, 4.5 W)</p>
<p>Majors: BA math (major GPA 3.5)
BS econ (major GPA 3.56)</p>
<p>Cum. GPA: 3.02 (didn't do so hot on some non-math/econ classes)</p>
<p>I've also passed the first three actuarial exams with high schores, and I've taken one grad level math class (got an A)</p>
<p>Will sending the Math Subject GRE scores help me, hurt me? what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch,</p>
<p>PI</p>
