GSD generally looks for scores around 600 for both verbal and quantitative sections, but it's not their biggest priority (people with lower GRE scores have been known to get in).

But it seems you have bigger problems than a low GRE score. Is there a specific reason you want to apply to GSD? I hope you have a compelling reason for enrolling in one program and wanting to transfer out.

nagooyen

you know people who got int gsd with mediocre scores (not just gre, but gpa)?

and other problems does he have than his gre?

Not exactly mediocre, but not amazing either (within the 500-600 range). Most of those people did, however, have above average GPAs (> 3.5).

The "other problems" was a reference to how it sounds like tieuyentu24 enrolled in a state school with the intention of transferring out, especially since the first semester/quarter hasn't passed at most schools. In my mind, you'd better have a really good reason for doing this or you could come across as someone who is likely to flake out at the first sign of difficulty. Unless that program has changed dramatically in less than a semester (extremely unlikely), it's hard to argue otherwise.

nagooyen, you have a good point. I do like where I am but it costs a lot. I live closer to GSD and thought that I could just commute. GSD just happens to be the closest one. I honestly think that any programs are good. The program that I am in now is not bad either, even though I hear upperclassmen dropping out and complains a lot, but I imagine it's the same every where else. And even 2nd and 3rd year people are dropping out and applying to other schools. It makes me wonder. 

Though I do like what I'm learning and enjoy every bit of it. Thanks for the comments. I just posted this to see possibilities and options...

i guess anything lower than 3.5 is out of the question

tieuyentu24, GSD's tuition, even with aid, would probably overwhelm any savings you might get from commuting vs staying at a state school.

if they really cared that much about your GRE score, then they would just make a minimum score mandatory, so don't stress too much. havng said that, i think most decent schools usually see at least around 1100 or so.  it just means that you'd better have an outstanding portfolio, letters of rec, and statement of purpose...but you'd have to have that anyway to get into the gsd.

i'm pretty confused why you want to go the gsd though? most people would say "because it's harvard and the best architecture school" (not my opinon). you say that any school is fine, as long as it's nearer to your home to save money on commuting. this is ridiculous. get your priorities straight.  the gsd is one of the most expensive programs unless you get good funding. not trying to be mean, but i agree with nagooyen. you seem totally flakey since you are already in a program that you actually like, and clueless about how difficult it is to get into the gsd and how crazily expensive it is (probably around $150k just in tuition alone). best of luck to you, but seriously, think carefully about your decisions and weigh all the factors. consider moving, actually giving your current program a chance, or finding a more realistic/economical school of getting into.

well lucky for me i have jay-z to support my education.

oh and I read that link, mmgeller88 and as you know, I posted,but no one has  replied back with anything!

You'll have to sort through it yourself, but the info you're looking for is probably there.
