What Is The Good GRE Score

Someone asked what is the good GRE Score For Get a admission. how much GRE Score bring me a scholarship?????

I just took my GRE's and I don't know what I got on my writing yet but I do know I got a 149/170 on Verbal and 141/170 on the Math. I have no idea if that's a "good" score. I'm applying to Emerson and Suffolk. I'm applying to Emerson's Creative Writing MFA program and Suffolks PR and Advertising MA program. Help?

A good way to see if your scores fit the institutions you are applying to is to explore their websites and find some sort of student profile. You can normally find one that highlights the middle 50% or the average GRE score for the incoming class. If you can't find that you could always ask as well. That way you you have a better handle on what your specific institutions are looking for. I took the old GRE but I would agree that if the percentiles reported by dendy are correct you more than likely would need to retake the GRE. Good luck!

I think more than 160 is considered good on almost every circumstance and for every major, unless you're applying to top schools where it may be a regular score. 

I believe what midnight streetlight was implying was that you'll be able to see your percentile rank for each of the three sections, relative to other who sat for the exam. There is not, however, any within-section breakdown.

Some of the subject tests give you a higher resolution breakdown- I just took the Biology Subject Test, and I was informed of my total score/percentile and my score/percentile for each of the three major domains of biology (cell/molecular, organismal, and eco/evo).

Also- I would CERTAINLY recommend retaking the exam. Your scores indicate that 60% of the people who took the exam did better than you did in the Verbal section and that 89% did better than you on the Quant section... Study and retake.
