Rrr1205 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hi! I was wondering the average GRE score of accepted students .. I am thinking of applying, but have only taken the GRE once and my score was a 293 :/ I know the website states atleast a 286 but I also know my score is not very competitive. I plan on taking it again by September and believe ill do better. Any advice/feedback would be appreciated! Thank u! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saldanamoreno Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I am wondering how important the GRE score is? I am applying to at least 8 PA programs and only 3 of them stated that they require a GRE be taken. I took the GRE but I don't even know how to calculate my score what did you do just add the verbal and math score together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svasan1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I've been told a competitive GRE score is a combined verbal and math of 300 or higher. Also a 4 or better on writing. Usually 150 or better on each section. They like to look at how you did on the GRE to see how you will handle the PANCE after PA school. I was asked questions about my GRE scores during an interview recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rrr1205 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi! Yes you add them together to get your cumulative score and your analytical writing score will be posted on the GRE ets website. I took mine July 1st, and my report just got posted online today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was shooting for a 300 at least for my first time taking it..but I panicked and blanked on the math portion and had to click answers at the end because time ran out! :/ I am going to take it again by September since their deadline isn't until October. I got my report online today and scored verbal 152, quant 141 :( and AW 4.0. I still included them in my institutions to send scores to though.

maymon1 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I am currently a first year student at the school and I would definitely say a score of at least 300 with writing above 4 as well. I had a 305 and a 4.5 and I was fine as far as GRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpatel4 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi everyone. I am looking to apply to LSU PA program in New Orleans and Shreveport. I recently took the GRE and scored 151 Verbal, 155 Quantitative, and 4.0 on Analytical writing. Would this make me eligible/competitive at these programs? Please be specific if possible. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! If you read the above posts it should be clear that your GRE score is competitive. It is best if your Quant is higher than the verbal, which it is. Are you from LA? I think that makes a difference. The question you are really asking though is one that most of us can't answer; that is"How will the GRE score be used?" For one thing, it is the only objective part off an application and many schools seem to use it to eliminate prospects that don't meet a minimum standard. Someone posted that schools use it as an indicator of how you might do on the PANCE. They may be correct but, hopefully, not. More than likely, most schools set up a scale for each part of the application: LORs, GRE, Personal statement, GPAs, leadership, dedication, communication abilities, etc. (GRE scores may not even be that important since some schools don't use them.) They then grade each item to provide a composite score. I know some schools do this but who knows if it is universal. For your purposes, you are in good shape with the GRE and should focus, now, on other parts of your application.
