It is getting close to the time for graduating seniors to submit applications to PhD programs, and I’ve been reflecting again on our discipline’s practices in this regard. Especially, I’ve been thinking about the role of GRE scores in the process.
The role of GRE scores in any given graduate program is fairly obscure, but it is fair to say that there are institutional pressures to recruit students with higher GRE scores. There are various ways to succumb to these pressures, from a crass preference for higher GRE scores to a system in which first cuts are made on the basis of GRE scores. I don’t mean to attach any significance to the question of whether such practices amount to succumbing to pressure, however; my concern is with the practices themselves ...........................

* GRE percentile is calculated by averaging the percentile rank from the three sections of the general test (composite score). If an application contains more than one set of GRE scores, the committee will consider the highest section score. Only GRE scores received by the admissions office at the time of initial academic evaluation will contribute to Tier assignment.

15.    I've taken the GRE multiple times.  Which scores will you use?
We will use the highest score earned in each section of the GRE. For example, if your verbal test score was high the first time, we will use that score rather than your most recent verbal score (if lower). A minimum verbal score of 400 must be obtained. The required Analytical Writing Section score is 3.5. Scores cannot be more than five years old from the desired semester of entry.

 GRE scores are but one of many criteria used to evaluate an applicant. Individual departments practices may differ, but overall the best score from each section is used. However, you must submit ALL of your GRE scores in order to have the department consider the highest from each section.

I have taken the GRE exams more than once. Can I mix and match the results?

GRE scores can not be mixed and matched. We will review only the most recent scores, regardless of the outcome.
