alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1855 Do you think there’s any scope to improve your GRE score? 318 will be below the median of top US based programs. What was your undergrad degree? Any context surrounding the 2.9 GPA?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, supported by strong recommendations. Are you also involved in activities outside of work? Any additional hobbies and interests?
