What is the minimum GRE score required for admittance into the program? How heavily does the admissions committee weigh GRE scores?
Draper does not keep records on the range of our students’ GRE scores, nor do we have a minimum score for acceptance to the program. Our admissions committee looks at applications as a whole, primarily considering an applicant’s statement of purpose, as well as letters of recommendation and previous academic work. A strong GRE score is more likely to help an application that may have weaknesses, than a weak GRE score is likely to hurt an otherwise strong application. If you are still concerned about your GRE scores, you can include a brief statement in the application to put the score into some context for the admissions committee. There is a special section in the application which allows applicants to include any pertinent information that they were not able to provide elsewhere.
