Do average or mediocre GRE scores put a student out of the running for a Javits fellowship, despite other impressive academic accomplishments?
No. The GRE scores by themselves will not eliminate an applicant from the competition. While the GRE scores are considered, they do not carry the heaviest weight. The applicant must have other qualities to support their candidacy – clear vision and purpose demonstrated in the personal statement, evidence of depth and breadth in the field of study as demonstrated in the transcript, and honors/awards or other activities related to the field, including those that show leadership. The letters of recommendation are also extremely important in supporting the applicant. Reviewers consider all of these factors.
