* Many schools are GRE-optional or have dropped the requirement altogether. This is becoming increasingly common. Check each school's specific admissions requirements on their website *before* even considering taking the GRE.
* If required, a strong score is generally considered to be above the 50th percentile. This means a combined score above 300 would generally be competitive, but the specific percentile cutoffs vary from school to school and year to year. Aiming higher is always better. A high score in the quantitative section is often particularly valued.
* Your overall application is crucial. Your GPA (in your undergraduate coursework, particularly science courses), letters of recommendation, personal statement, research experience, and pharmacy-related volunteer work are all far more important than the GRE score. A strong application can sometimes compensate for a less-than-stellar GRE score, especially in cases where the GRE is optional.
In summary: Don't focus solely on the GRE. Research the specific requirements of the schools you're interested in. Prioritize a strong academic record, relevant experience, and compelling application materials. If the GRE is required, aim for a score above the 50th percentile, but remember it's just one piece of the puzzle.
