The GRE Score Ranges

GRE scores demonstrate your ability to succeed in any post-grad program and give the admissions officers one of the most important factors in evaluating your admission eligibility.

GRE Score Ranges:

BEST GRE SCORES – These GRE scores will put you in the top 10% of all GRE test takers

GRE VERBAL: 163-170

GRE QUANTITATIVE: 165-170

GRE WRITING: 5.0-6.0

COMPETITIVE GRE SCORES -These GRE scores will put you in a highly competitive place in admissions (top 25% of all GRE test takers)

GRE VERBAL: 158-170

GRE QUANTITATIVE:  165-170

GRE WRITING: 4.5

GOOD GRE SCORES – These GRE scores put you ahead of the pack (50%+), but won’t be as advantageous when applying to highly competitive programs

GRE VERBAL: 152-158

GRE QUANTITATIVE: 157-164

GRE WRITING: 4.0

The above score ranges demonstrate the inherent preference for a Balanced Score by any admissions office. Though an application for any math-heavy program like engineering, will probably need higher GRE scores in Quantitative than in Verbal, a language or arts-oriented program will probably need higher GRE scores in Verbal.
