I just took the GRE today for the first time. V:470 Q:650 I did pretty good on the essay so I'm thinking a score of 8-10. My GPA is around 3.68 with 250+ hours of internship hours. I'm worried about my GRE score...I'm planning on applying to all the California mph schools (UCLA, loma linda etc..).


Should I take it again in September?

Your gre certainly isn't going to help, but your gpa is pretty high. take it again, if you can improve.

I would only take it again if you really plan to study between now and then. I took it twice, honestly kind of played at studying both times, and I did worse on verbal the second time (80pts!) and only did 10pts better on quant.

My gre wasn't much higher than yours and I'm going to Emory, if that helps. I didn't apply to any UC schools but I do know that they are very competitive- so make sure everything else on your app is as strong as possible.

I took the GRE and got a similar score as you, though my GPA was lower. I took the GRE again to see if I could do better, which I didn't. I applied to the practically all the Cal States (and UCI), and didn't get in anywhere because of my low GPA. But, I got into LLU & Tulane. Like they said, Cal schools are pretty competitive, but I think you should do fine with a high GPA.

And take it again if only you are REALLY going to put your heart into it. There's no point, otherwise. Good luckk

8-10 on the essay? you mean 4-5?

What was your undergrad GPA? I'm thinking of applying there (one of my reach schools) but need a better idea of accepted student stats. Thanks 🙂

If I remember correctly, my SOPHAS gpa was calculated at 3.7 (2 degrees one with 3.4 and one with 4.0).
