Which University can I get in US (990 GRE® score)

[Bhavik]

I am doing my B.E in Mumbai (Parshwanath college) in Information technology. I am planning to do my Graduation from US in fall 2009 in subject Computer science. I gave my gre exam on 14 of oct 2008. my GRE score-- 990. I need to know which universities should I apply to? Do I need to give GRE again or will this score help me get into some good university?

Any help would be greatfull..

A GRE of 990 is not great. You may have better try it one more time. Specially in Engineering, most schools won't take your application seriously if you don't pass a 1100 minimum score.

There are many factors that go into a school accepting you and your GRE score is only one of them.

Every graduate school is different. Some may weigh your GRE score very heavily in their admissions process, while others may pay it little or no attention. The only way to know for sure is to ask the schools to which you’re applying.

Tip: call and talk to an admissions counselor one-on-one (better: schedule an appointment and go see them). Spend time making a good impression; don’t just blurt out your question. Ask them about your GRE scores after you’ve established some rapport.

Why? Admissions personnel are supposed to give you the “official answer,” for example, “We won’t even consider you if your GRE score is below a 1300.” But, after you’ve talked to them a bit and they see you as a person and not just a part of their job, they might give you the real answer; “We tell people 1300 minimum, but truthfully, with your GPA and background, you can probably get in with anything above 1150.

However! The higher your GRE score is, the easier it will be to get into most programs. Even if your GRE score is sufficient many fellowships and TA positions depend directly on your score. “We’ll give the TA spot to the highest GRE score that applies,” or “You must have a 1320 to be eligible for this fellowship.” It really pays to get your GRE score as high as possible.

Like he said it PAYS to have a good GRE score.You may get TA if your score is good and live off it till you complete the program.

Hi,
I've taken my GRE on March 9th. Till now I ve not yet received the scores.
They say that they are sent in 10-15 days.
I don't know why this is complicated.
Normally I should receive my score reports by email as soon a s possible like TOEFL (can be consulted online).

They told me to phone ETS and pay 12$ to get scores. I dont know how to pay this amount through phone.

They really complicate things.

Could you please help me.
