Why prep for the GRE?• Admissions officers report that an
applicant’s GRE score is the most important
admissions factor.1
• Most admissions officers say a strong GRE
score will help a student receive merit-based
scholarships.2
• The acceptance rate at top masters, MBA
and professional programs is less than 20%.
• Getting just another question or two correct
in a given section will catapult you ahead of
tens of thousands of other test takers and
set you up for admissions success.
