What are acceptable GRE scores?
Each year, from approximately 250 completed applications, our admissions committee is limited to selecting a total M.A. and Ph.D. class of approximately 30 students. There are no specific undergraduate course requirements for admission to graduate study, but courses such as introductory psychology, statistics, and experimental psychology and/or research methods are preferred. For admission to the M.A. program, the means and ranges in recent years have been approximately 595 (490-700) verbal, 510 (430-590) quantitative, and 595 (520-670) analytical. For doctoral students, the means and ranges have been approximately 600 (500-710) verbal, 625 (500-750 quantitative, and 645 (510-780) analytical. Previous research experience, clinically-related public service or employment, and extracurricular activities are also taken into consideration.
We evaluate all of a student’s credentials and the GRE is part of the package. Success in the MPH program requires good verbal and quantitative skills. Hitherto successful applicants have submitted scores on the verbal reasoning section of the GRE at or above the 60th percentile level and on the quantitative reasoning section at or above the 55th percentile level. http://www.gre.org/pracmats.html#gentest . Individuals who have already completed a graduate level degree, or are licensed practicing physicians, dentists or equivalent health professional in the USA can apply for a waiver of this GRE requirement (see supplementary application form) http://www.med.wayne.edu/fam/mph .

Should I still apply? Answer: Low GRE scores or low grades aren’t necessarily a problem
