A big worry will be the combination of your GRE score and undergraduate record. Have you taken any additional coursework since your undergrad? Any context surrounding your performance?

Do you think that’s your best GRE score, or is there scope for improvement, with more preparation?

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1184 Thanks for sharing your profile. I agree with Alex; in light of your target schools, the tandem of your GRE and GPA will create a bit of a red flag academically. Did you attend one of the service academies? Any sense as to where your 2.4 GPA placed you in your class? As we've said on the site and on the Clear Admit podcast many times, the best way to address a low GPA is to hit the ball out of the park on the test. This means soaring above a school's average with the test to compensate for being below average with your GPA. How many times have you taken the test?
