GRE what your opinion on my score

Published

So i just completed my gre. I am a recent graduate from toledo, oh. I had a 3.5 gpa overal with around a 3.5 in sciences. I just got done with my GRE. i got a 430 on verbal and a 720 on my math. I have not recieved my analytical in mail yet. I plan to apply to u of detroit, youngstown, cincinatti, and akron. Wondering if anyone knows if my stats are okay or what your suggestion is whether to retake the gre to get my verbal score up. I am not sure what the requirement at most of these scores are??? please help. Also what kind of extra activities do u men/women join to show involvement beyond acls, pals, and ccrn? thanks

That's definitely a decent score in my opinion. Usually anything over 1000 is competitive, as I understand it. I only scored a cumulative 1010 on my GRE, with a writing score of 4.0 and I received interview letters from all 4 schools I've applied to. Based on your GRE and GPA alone, you should be sitting fairly pretty, I'd think. Good luck!

I agree- GRE over 1000 is usu. good enough. Esp. having a strong math score seems to be a bonus (I'm not sure how much they consider verbal) - writing they will prob look at to see if you can express your thoughts well enough for grad level. I had a verbal around the same as you and about 50 pts less on my math. I don't think GRE scores even came up in my interview but if they did it seems like they may have thrown me a 'good job' on my math score. Don't worry about retake- your grades/gpa is great and overall gre competitive. Focus on your icu/nsg experiences, poss. taking or studyin for ccrn if you dont have it already and selling yourself at the interview. I got in first try at Cinci and start in sept. Good luck :p
