Can anyone advise as to the weight of standardized test scores(ie GRE, SAT) asked for on applications to post-bach programs? For example, it is not required for UCONN, but they still ask you to report them, even if you just write them in. For me, I did not have outstanding SAT scores, so I am preparing to take the GRE before I apply in January. Therefore, is there a specific score you should shoot for to be safe (say 1200) or not list anything? You know how they say only put your GPA on your resume if its >3.0? Is it the same for SAT/GRE scores below a certain point?

Thanks,
