Though very important, a good GRE score isn't all that gets one funding. I had 315; 107; 4.0+ and still didn't get funding. I guess what I'm trying to say in effect is that choice of school and program are as important as GRE scores. I know of folks with lower GRE scores and better admission package. Future applicants should please consider every aspect of the application holistically if funding is a must. 12 Likes |

Let's not forget that the funding strength of the school in question matters. If the school has enough, they can give more or to more students. Some schools are known to give full ride wella, while others rarely give. If you apply to the school that rarely gives, you stand very little chance, even with your scores. Or to competitive schools, tougher here because many of the students have great profiles too. I got financial aid (not full) from Columbia but others in same school with higher scores didnt. I simply wrote to the school for aid. These things are not always straight forward. A professor in this school even told me that having a high score alone is not a criterion for funding, that its a holistic thing. Yes, having great scores are better. That alone, sometimes, might not get you (full) funding. 2 Likes |

UG GPA: 4.08/5 MSc GPA: 3.36/4 ( wes icalculator) GRE: 155/157/3.5 (V/Q/AW) Pls note Bro your choice of schools was probably the problem.... Maybe they were way to high and competitive for your profile.... Aside that Elect/Elect is more competitive than Mechanical/Materials Option. So funding should have being easier.. Maybe you should add safe schools to your next list just to see... Gradcafe is small Bro..
