<p>SO, if a school says 3.0 minimum and he has 4.0, I think, in Masters, the BA sub 3.0 will not kick him out?</p>
<p>Graduate schools look at the GPA of the last degree acquired (of course they will review the undergraduate transcript with specific attention to relevant coursework). PhD programs are all about performance in research. So if the student has done well in a Masters AND has clear achievements in research, the student will have options for many different graduate programs. However, I would recommend applying to more than one program and being specific in the application essays of why that program is a fit for the student's research and career goals.</p>
<p>And a 1200 and 1400 on the GRE correlate to what percentile of test takers?</p>
<p>It's hard to say -- the sections are assigned percentiles separately.</p>
<p>An 800 on the quantitative section is about 92nd percentile, while a 600 on the verbal section is something like 95th percentile (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please). So that combination of 1400 would be a very good score indeed, while a 600Q/800V would be a spectacular verbal percentile with a not-so-great quantitative percentile.</p>
<p>790 on the quant goes for 92percentile these days
690 on verbal snags a 96</p>
<p>"Pre-meds: grrrr."</p>
<p>heh. Universal knowledge!</p>
<p>btw, my personal experience is that, gpa does matter a lot too. Majority of people in top graduate schools that I know of had 3.6-3.7. The lowest i have seen was 2.7, but with an upward trend, and other positive modifiers...</p>
