FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's a good GRE score for MS in the US?
Top-25 US graduate programs expect 320+ V+Q (≈90th percentile) for STEM, 325+ for the most selective schools. Top-50 ranges typically accept 315+. Programs publish their admitted-cohort GRE averages — that's the truest benchmark.
Where do these percentiles come from?
Percentiles are from ETS's official 2024 norm tables. They reflect the cumulative percentage of test-takers who scored at or below the given score in the prior 3-year reference period.
Should I retake the GRE?
Generally yes if your total V+Q is below your target program's published 25th-percentile admit. A 5-point lift to clear the 320 threshold is often the highest-leverage move when other parts of your profile are average.
