salatim Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 so my gre score is 295 (ugh I know it's terrible)... with a 4 on my writing. My GPA is a 3.62 and my science GPA is a 3.55 I have 800+ hours of patient care experience as well as volunteer, shadowing, and research experience (300+ hours) I am currently working as a CNA and have letters of rec from an MD, undergrad professor, and my Assistant Nurse Manager. I applied to 9 schools throughout the south/southwest (NOVA: ft L, FM, and Jacksonville), South college TN, USA, PCOM, LSU Shreveport, UT southwestern, and TTUHSC Do I still have a chance of getting in even with a low GRE score? I've been having major anxiety about it and feeling pretty discouraged after seeing majority of people's stats and what their GRE scores were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGoLong Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm guessing it was your math score that was low? If you are close to 50% in each category, you will probably clear someone's wicket. I would consider downloading the math review material at the GRE website, study it, and repeat the test if you're concerned. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 You may get an interview or two, but your HCE is also a bit lacking. I initially had a 292 GRE, but took it again a month later and turned it into a 300. So it may not be a bad idea to retake it again a little more prepared. Good luck, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCPA2018 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I got 5 interview offers with a 298 on the GRE so I wouldn't sweat it too much, look for some schools that don't require the test. Your HCE hours are what might hinder you at this point so I would try to bring that number up some if possible, also try securing a letter of rec from a practicing PA if you have access to one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
