How difficult is school like

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>Princeton, Cornell, UPenn, or Columbia for grad school? (Ph.D, CS)</p>

<p>What GPA and GRE scores would be considered somewhat good shot at these schools?</p>

2

<p>very…</p>

3

<p>hmmm gpa should be at least 3.5, gre 800 math, 700 verbal but u need more than just numbers</p>

4

<p>

</p>

<p>I doubt the average verbal scores are that high, especially for a math intensive discipline.</p>

5

<p>Is GRE hard to score high? I thought scoring 800 on SAT math section was fairly easy although I did miserable on verbal (500ish)</p>

6

<p>quite a few score 800 on math. remember that research is important for grad school. if u can publish by the time u apply, ur on the short list.</p>

7

<p>well verbal is hard to get above 700. depending on where / what major u apply. for my school, GRE math average is like 750. I’m sure quite a few get 800.</p>

8

<p>do you have to do research in the same discipline? For example, can I do research in biology and still apply to engineering grad school school? How would adcoms view this?</p>

9

<p>I think the average verbal school for top schools in engineering are in the low 500’s.</p>

10

<p>Average verbal for engineering majors is a shade under 500 the last time I check, and in the upper 700s for math. The ETS publishes it somewhere in their website.</p>
