GRE subject test scores for Applied math programs
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 4:44 pm
Hi,
I am applying for applied math masters programs. My score on the GRE math subject test is 680 (56%ile) . Most of the programs I am looking at "recommend" but donot "require" the subject test scores.
Thus, I am in a dilemma as to whether I should report my scores or not, . I would really appreciate advice on this since I am in a tricky situation :
1. I don't want my application to be rejected due to my low score (which could have been avoided if I had not reported the scores in the first place).
2.Since my undergraduate major is engineering, would it be helpful to report my subject test score, even though it is low , so as to demonstrate some level of proficiency in math. I also happen to be an international student.
MY PROFILE
Undergrad major : Engineering (International)
GPA : 3.9/4
GRE General test : 166(V) 165(Q) 4(AWA)
TOEFL : 114
GRE subject test : 680 (56%)
Research project in computational biology
Areas of interest : Control systems, nonlinear dynamics, scientific computing
Programs looking at : (Applied math masters programs)
UPenn
University of Illinois Urbana Champaign
Arizona State
University of Arizona
University of south Carolina
I would also be extremely grateful if you could suggest programs that might suit my qualifications. Also, I have absolutely no idea as to whether I am overreaching or not. Would greatly appreciate some advice on that too..
Sorry for the long post and,
Thanks a lot, in advance
Yours truly
