Stanford CCRMA - What GRE score should I be aiming at?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello,
I am an international student, and I’m interested in Stanford’s MA in Music Science and Technology program (at the CCRMA).</p>

<p>I completed the ToEFL iBT test with a score of 116/120, and I’m starting to study for the GRE test (I’m taking a course).</p>

<p>Now, my course teachers insist of me aiming on some kind of score, so I can define targets for myself, but unfortunately - I really don’t know where I should be aiming at.</p>

<p>I approached the music faculty at Stanford, and they say there’s no “required” score. I couldn’t find any statistics from previous years, except that the general average of graduate students at Stanford is 780Q 580V.</p>

<p>I’m very strong in math (my B.Sc major was mathematics), and English is not my native tongue, but I consider myself to be strong.</p>

<p>So - what do you guys say? What’s a score I should be aiming at?</p>

<p>I know this is probably too late for you but I got into CCRMA with a 3.67 undergraduate Computer Science/Music Tech GPA from McGill University and a GRE with scores Q:162(780)/V:162(640)/A:4.0.</p>
