Hi tiarielle,

I'd try to apply for a scholarship at your desired university first. Decisions to grant a scholarship are always based on more than one factor. And if you really want to know whether they expect a certain score, you can always write them a nonchalant email

Tiarielle,

As Ralph mentioned, there's more to consider than just the GRE Score. Some schools have expectations, some programs don't even require a GRE score, and others just use it for awarding scholarships.

Even the ones that do require a score, may be somewhat flexible on the score if you can offer proof of other expertise or experience.

I think your approach is backward; instead, pick your schools based on what they can offer you. When you find programs you're interested in, then investigate their requirements. Sometimes they will list requirements on that particular department's webpage. If not, contact the designated program director (this should be listed on their site) asking what (if any) GRE requirements they have.

Also, be aware that there are often differences in requirements between what the overall university requires, compared to a specific department or program within that university requires.
