<p>Actually the new GRE is shifted a bit from the old to try to normalize the Verbal and Quant scores. The Old GRE had too low of an average for verbal and too high of an average for quant. Because of this my verbal score looks more impressive than it actually is and my quant looks less so. 166V,164Q is equivalent to 700V,790Q on the old system. If anyone has scores they want to convert here is the official concordance table: <a href=“http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/concordance_information.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/concordance_information.pdf</a></p>
<p>Percentiles are what schools will really consider. I don’t think any MD/PhD programs require GRE scores but I know some accept them as supplement. Since I took it while planning on a PhD and did pretty well I’ll take a look at whether or not it’s worth adding. I know the MCAT requires more specific knowledge but hopefully doing well on one is indicative of doing well on the other.</p>
