I'm new to the forum so I apologize if this has been asked already.

Do DPT programs typically allow you to combine GRE scores or do you have have to use the highest single total score?

Thanks - lots of great information on here!

It varies by program.

For example, the University of Colorado takes an entire test's scores into consideration. They will not take your Verbal from one test, Math from another, and Essay from another.

Other schools take the highest in each category, regardless of how many times you took the GRE.

It varies from school to school. You will have to contact each school you are planning on applying to.

This is for the two that said it varies by school...

Which schools allows you to combine scores? It is not something I ever looked into...but I am just curious which schools you are using as a resource for your answer.

You would have to contact each school to find out.

I am not 100% sure, but I don't think you can combine scores.

Thanks - I'm looking specifically at West Virginia and University of South Carolina. Let's hope so!
