Statistics phd - good/bad mGRE scores

Post by yotamh » Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:53 am

Hello everyone,

mGRE is only recommended when applying for a phd in statistics.
But obviously sometimes it's better not to send a score then to report a bad score.
How would you cut the threshold between send/not send/indifferent?

The average is 82% at Stanford, which probably has the top program. It's probably higher for internationals and lower for domestics.

I personally got an 800 (81%) and am sending mine.
