Aim for a GRE score of at least 320, with 165+ in quantitative reasoning for engineering master's programs in the USA.

Strong quantitative scores are especially important for engineering and can help offset a lower GPA. Relevant work experience may also be considered by some programs.

Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
