Trying to figure out just how much the GRE matters at programs like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford? You\u2019ve come to the right place. In this post we\u2019ll cover just how important test scores are at the Ivies and then show you some average GRE scores for top universities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#average\">Jump to Average GRE Scores for Top Universities!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">GRE Scores and Top Universities<\/h2>\n<p>\nA common thought among prospective graduate students is that you need perfect or near perfect GRE scores to get into the best universities in the country. It makes sense, right? The best schools would definitely want the best scores \u2013 how could anything less than 167+ in both Verbal and Quant get someone into Harvard? But is it true?<\/p>\n<p>\nThe answer is, unfortunately, not totally clear cut. The truth is that top universities are, in general, looking for good to great GRE scores. Often they are looking for <em>very<\/em> good to great scores. Why? Partially because of the GRE\u2019s ability to predict future performance and readiness for graduate study. But, a big part of the reason that these schools are looking for high GRE scores is because of how competitive they are to get into. Top universities attract lots of applicants to their programs. In 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/gsas.yale.edu\/admissions\/yale-gsas-facts-figures\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">16,046 people applied to a PhD program at Yale<\/a>. Only 1,126 received admissions offers. That\u2019s an acceptance rate of about 7%. With numbers like that every part of your application matters.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen aiming for a top university a good rule of thumb is to set a score goal in the 160s for both sections of the exam. Applicants to science and math heavy programs will want their scores to be higher in the Quant section. And applicants in the humanities and other writing and reading heavy disciplines will want their Verbal scores to really shine. But crossing the 160 threshold in both sections will really help boost your application\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C\">A Note on Program Rankings<\/h3>\n<p>\nMany people think about graduate school rankings the same way they do about undergraduate program rankings. This can mean following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/best-graduate-schools\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. News and World Report<\/a> rankings closely. This isn\u2019t altogether a bad strategy, but it can be a little misleading for prospective grad students. Let\u2019s look at why.<\/p>\n<p>\nGraduate school is <strong>all<\/strong> about specialization. While this is the case in more professional type programs like business and law, it\u2019s particularly true for research oriented programs. Think of it this way: you begin your educational career in elementary or primary school. Here you learn the basics of language, mathematics, science, humanities, and social sciences. As you progress through your education things get more complex and specialized. In high school you\u2019ll take classes on specific kinds of subjects like Biology or Calculus or American Government. By college you\u2019re still taking some general education classes, but you are really focusing on your major and, possibly, minor. You\u2019re learning more in-depth about a particular field. By the time you get to graduate school that study has become even more in-depth. Instead of studying English Literature like you did in undergrad, you are focused on the work of a particular novelist or a certain decade or decades in British Literature.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo what does this have to do with rankings? Well, the USNWR rankings do take into account broad subfields like Modern American History or Biochemistry. But their rankings are still fairly broad and based on program reported general data. They don\u2019t account for factors a prospective graduate student should be thinking about like: who is doing research on the specific topic I am interested in? What labs are doing the experiments I want to do and where are they? What program has the best archives for my particular project?<\/p>\n<p>Rankings are a good place to begin making your school lists, but they shouldn\u2019t dictate them entirely. They aren\u2019t a good substitute for the kind of in-depth program research you\u2019ll need to do to find the perfect fit for your needs. It\u2019s absolutely true that the top universities provide access to resources and alumni networks that other schools can\u2019t. But it\u2019s also true that the number one ranked university on a school list may not be the number one program for you.<\/p>\n<p><h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">How Does the GRE Relate to Other Parts of Your Application?<\/h2>\n<p>\nLike we said above, the GRE scores at top universities matter in large part because the schools are so competitive. This is true for the rest of your application. When competition is so tight, every single part of your application can matter a lot. This ranges from having a competitive GRE score to a strong GPA to error free application essays. You want to spend time and effort on each component of your application!<\/p>\n<p>\nWith all that said, there are ways that a strong GRE score can help offset weaker parts of your application. Maybe your GPA isn\u2019t quite where you want it to be. A strong performance on the GRE can show the admissions committee that you are capable of excelling at graduate level work. Don\u2019t have as much quantitative course experience as you would have liked? Nailing the Quant section of the GRE with a 165 or above can help get your application noticed at a top university. The GRE can be a prime opportunity to help make your application more competitive for these ultra competitive programs.<\/p>\n<p>\nIt\u2019s important to note that not every program at every top school accepts the GRE. This can mean different things at different schools. Some truly won\u2019t accept it, meaning they won\u2019t look at scores at all. If you are only applying to programs that don\u2019t take the GRE that means you can skip the exam. However, for many, if not most, students it will be hard to put together a list of enough viable schools that don\u2019t accept the GRE to mean you can completely skip it. Especially if you are aiming for top programs. Remember how low the acceptance rates at Yale are? With competition this intense, we usually recommend students target at least five programs they feel they would be a great fit at.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlternately, some programs you come across will truly be test optional. In these cases, you really do get to decide whether to submit a test score or not. We\u2019ve already discussed how a strong GRE score can help mitigate weaknesses in your application. But let\u2019s also consider a test optional school where admissions are very competitive. In this case, even with a stellar all-around application, a strong GRE score can be something that helps you stand out from the pack. It\u2019s hard to say exactly what an admissions committee is thinking when deciding between two similar candidates, but to imagine one having excellent GRE scores can push that candidate forward.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"average\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">Average GRE Ranges for Top Universities<\/h2>\n<p>\nGRE scores vary enormously depending on which school and which program you&#8217;re applying to. However, if you just want to know the general GRE ranges for these schools, we&#8217;ve averaged out the GRE scores for top universities in the table below.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Keep in mind that these are only rough ranges.<\/strong> For precise GRE scores, look on the admissions websites of the particular programs you&#8217;re applying to. Be sure to check not just for any minimum score requirements they might have, but also for information on the scores of average admitted students.<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-102\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-102 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">University<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Average Verbal Range<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Average Quantitative Range<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Columbia University<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">155-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">153-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Cornell University<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">155-163<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">153-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Harvard University<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">155-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">157-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">MIT\t<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">158-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">162-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">New York University<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">154-162<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">151-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Princeton\t<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">158-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">157-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Stanford University<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">157-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">157-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">UC Berkeley\t<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">157-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">155-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">UCLA<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">156-163<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">155-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">University of Pennsylvania<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">154-163<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">154-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">University of Southern California<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">151-162<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">145-169<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Yale University\t<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">155-164<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">157-170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-102 from cache --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n<p>\nWhile the top universities for graduate study do often place a high premium on top-notch test scores, they are just one piece of the admissions puzzle.
