<p>Last year’s average was 643.4V/632.6Q/5.4AW</p>

<p>As someone else said, contact the departments where you’re applying and ask. But don’t be surprised if they don’t even keep track. UofM is a little unusual in the degree of detail they publish.</p>

<p>While the GRE is not un-important, it is not the crucial factor that the SAT is in undergrad admissions. FAR more important are your GPA, recs, SOP and writing sample.</p>

<p>The Classics profs. I’ve talked to here at Penn have consistently told me that the GRE is important 1) for university-wide followships in places that don’t fund everyone, and 2) to support (not override) your academic record.</p>
