panglossian Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 What is your GRE score for each section? It really depends on the requirements of the schools you are planning on applying to (e.g. GPA and GRE cutoffs). In general, you have enough HCE, have taken the required coursework, and have a decent enough GPA to apply. The CASPA 2017-2018 application does not even open until April 27th. You miss all the shots you don't take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilygurlie Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have almost the same stats as you. Do you have an upward trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyNichiavelli Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If you're screwed, I'm screwed. Lol. Our stats are really similar. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilygurlie Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 @ilygurlie yes an upward trend! Then possibly! If you have like a 3.8-4.0 for the last four semesters, that could possibly make up for the low stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERtech18 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I had similar stats and I was accepted the last cycle. Don't give up and don't stress over people saying you won't get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaKid Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 You are not screwed, but it won't be a cake walk. I had similar stats and was accepted this cycle. I'd say GPA is average-below average. For GRE most schools look for something over 300, is the 156 for both verbal and quantitative? Make sure you do your research on what schools you align with and are actually willing to attend. Most importantly, have an excellent PS, it's what will show the adcom who you really are outside of your stats. Good luck! It can definitely be done!
