Furthermore, admissions committees consider far more than just GRE scores. Factors such as GPA, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, research experience, and work experience all heavily influence admissions decisions. A high GRE score can improve your chances, but it's not a guarantee of acceptance, and a lower-than-average score doesn't automatically disqualify you.
To find a more relevant answer, you should:
1. Identify the specific graduate program at Columbia you're interested in.
2. Visit that program's website. Many programs will provide information about the typical applicant profile, including average GRE scores (if they choose to share such data). However, this is often not explicitly stated.
3. Contact the program's admissions office directly. They can provide more insight into the competitiveness of the program and the typical qualifications of successful applicants.
In short, focusing on a specific program and contacting them directly will provide far more accurate and helpful information than a general average.
