Video is little vague. You should have covered other aspects about their overall profile, and their GPA and work experience because this is what plays a major role while applying
You are right. Here are their profiles: A (who sent his scores) - 8.2 GPA from BITS, 3 yrs work ex B (who did not send scores) - 9.2 GPA from VTU, 3 yrs work ex including 1 research paper
How much benefit does one get in applying early? I've seen you mention on LinkedIn that applying early, SoPs, LoRs play a greater role than GRE. Right now, I have a GRE score of 307 (163 Q, 144 V and scored almost 10 marks less than what I was in powerprep mock tests), 8 CGPA, 2 years work ex and should be done with my SoP and LoRs by this month end (Oct). There are 2 cases I'm stuck with right now: 1.) I apply by this month end for MEM programs (most MEM programs do have GRE as optional) with a low GRE score of 307, Q: 163 2.) Or retake it and apply by Nov end/ Dec 1st week with a better score of 315+ & Q: 165+. Which scenario would you suggest here? Will applying early by a month compensate for my low GRE score? Your advice would really help me here!
307 is low. If you think you can score 315+, it might be worth retaking (if many of your target schools are asking for gre). For the schools who do not need gre, you shouldn’t wait n apply early. For schools that are keeping it optional, it’s your call but 307 is not worth submitting.
@@NisthaTripathi Hey, I got my gre today and I was not expecting 50% of multi choice answers questions with so lengthy paper. I managed to get 304 with verbal 140 and quant 164. My CGPA is 8.58 with 1 year exp at PWC. Can you please guide what to do now . I want to apply for the mem programs. I have sent my scores to Purdue, duke , north Carolina State and San Jose State. What are my chances. My SOP and LORs are ready.
Thanks for this video! Should a score of 318 (Q - 160, V - 158, AWA - 5) be sent for MS in CS to universities with optional GRE? Additional profile details - 2 years work ex with 1 research paper
Can I get funding without GRE score as it is waved in so many universities now a days and how should I approach for funding ? My subject is CS and research interest is machine learning.
I'm applying for MSBA courses and have 2 GRE scores 319(Q162/V157) and 311(Q166/V145) . I'm not sure which score would serve well to get into ambitious and moderately ambitious universities
How should we handle in the following case.... [GRE: Not Considered..... The Admission Committee will not have access to your self reported or Official GRE General Scores.]
I have a quant of 166 and verbal of 168. 334 is a good score but 166Q is kind of average for Indians. I’m applying to very selective and math heavy t10 courses. Should I send it?
I am currently doing BE in Computer Engineering. I have GRE score of 299 with 159 Quants and 140 verbal. with overall cgpa of 9.5 and done 3 internships during my bachelors course. how much should i score in ielts? should i send my gre scores or apply without gre score?

Yes, a university can not preclude you from aid if it is keeping GRE waived itself. How to approach for funding is a whole different topic. Check out our funding masterclass on courses.scholarstrategy.com where I have covered it in extensive detail

No point in sending if it’s not considered (that’s different from optional)
