The Ultimate List of US Universities for GRE Scores 310 to

These are among the top 50 in the US. To get an admission call from these universities, youll need a good
GRE score along with good grades/GPA. Your overall prole has to be really good, and there is an ever
so slight chance of getting a scholarship or assistantship if your overall prole is signicantly better than

7KH8OWLPDWH/LVWRI868QLYHUVLWLHVIRU*5(6FRUHVWR&UXQFK3UHS*5(

the average class prole of the university.


Before You Read On:
The list has been provided only for reference. The GRE score is only one part of the entire application
process, and hence it should be understood that one cannot apply to a university based on just the GRE
score. Often times, the GRE score doesnt decide where you study, but your overall prole does.
To illustrate further, a candidate with a 308 score on the GRE may get admitted into a university in the 315320 range. But at the same time, a candidate with a 330 score may not be admitted into the same
university. This depends on several factors: the overall prole of the candidate, the prole of the average
candidate that applies to that university, the strength and brand name of a particular branch in the
university, among others. Hence, it is dicult to tell someone which university they can apply to, without
actually knowing their entire prole.
Note: While weve tried to give you a birds eye view of each college that weve mentioned below, if you
want to know more about a particular college, visit their website (Click on a college name to go to its
website.) or Google them.

I am planning to do masters in same ML eld. I am aiming for one of the univ:
Priority- Stony Brook, NCSU, UFL, ASU, USC & other- SUNY Buffalo, IOB.
It would be great help if you can tell me what are the chances of getting into these univ?
I am planning to rewrite GRE. So what minimum score should be obtained to get into these

You have a very solid prole. These are the chances for the universities youve
mentioned. Ive also included my two cents.
Stony Brook, NCSU Ambitious (Need a higher GRE score)

KWWSVFUXQFKSUHSFRPJUHXQLYHUVLWLHVJUHVFRUHVWR





7KH8OWLPDWH/LVWRI868QLYHUVLWLHVIRU*5(6FRUHVWR&UXQFK3UHS*5(

ASU, USC Moderate to Safe (Just make sure you have solid LORs and SOP. Youll do
ne with a 311 score.)
UFL, Buffalo, Indiana Safe to Very Safe.
Since you are into Computers, try applying to UC Santa Cruz, and UC Davis as well.
I dont know when your next GRE appointment is, but if you can get a 320 325
score, you will have great chances not only at NCSU and Stony Brook, but also at UC
Irvine, Penn State, and Georgia Tech. Good luck!

UNC Chapel Hill and Stony Brook will be ambitious for you. But you can try and apply,
since you have 3 years experience. You never know.
Utah, and ASU are moderate, and you will have a decent chance, if you have very
good SOP and LORs.
If you want universities with funding, try Iowa State, UFL, and Syracuse. (Syracuse
gives out very generous scholarships, and since you have a high score, and
experience, you can expect around 60% to 100% funding.) Good luck!

Hey Sauray!
Youve a great prole. And youve done some good research too. But you have only
one ambitious university on your list.
Ambitious: UCSB (Add UMCP, and UMass)
Moderate: Purdue, NCSU, GaTech (Add TAMU and Penn State)
Safe: UCI, Stony Brook (Add UNC Chapel Hill and UPenn)
Good luck!

Hey Sunitha!
Good prole overall. But Id still say both UCSB and ICSD are ambitious. You might
need 320+ to have a great chance. But still, try and apply. You still stand around 20%
chance.
Ambitious: UCSB, UCSD, UMass, TAMU
Moderate: UNC Chapel Hill, Stony Brook, UC Irvine, UM Twin Cities
Safe: UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, USC, ASU, Colorado Boulder.
Good luck!
