As you look a little further down the list, you’ll find universities settling for a varied range of scores in each division. But, to have a foolproof chance into these universities, you must target a score of 151 in both parts.

 

Nevertheless, the level of scrutiny depends on your subject choice as well. For instance, if you’re searching a list of universities for MS in computer science in the USA with a score of 163 in both the sections of the GRE, you don’t have to look much further. Stanford will have its gates open to you!

 

Some universities, however, appreciate the cost of doing MS in the USA and hence, for some subject, absolve the student from giving GRE.

 

Even the elite university of MIT pardons computer science and electrical engineering majors from having to take the GRE.

GRE Scores Can Bag You A Scholarship!

Before you start a rigorous web search to find the cheapest education loan in India for foreign study, let us address your question of “How To Get A Scholarship For MS in USA?
