Obvious Question
Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2006 2:54 pm
Hi. I was wondering, do we all agree that grades and research experience are more important than GREs? If so, are the grades from the latter part of one's undergraduate careers more important than grades from the first part(i.e. junior and senior year grades are weighed more heavily than freshman and sophomore grades)?
Has anyone been rejected from an elite graduate school with a perfect or near perfect GPA and/or GRE EVEN with research experience?
Do some schools have a reputation of being harder than other schools? If so, when graduate committees meet do they take that into consideration as well?
I guess what I want to know is what are the most important factors that graduate schools take into consideration?
