GRE math

[xsxstt]

Hi all,

I read in an earlier post that a high GRE math score will increase the chance of getting into top schools. I am just wondering how high is enough ...

Thanks in advance.

You are talking about GRE Subject Math OR the Math score in the GRE general test ?

GRE Subject Math : 75+ percentile
Math Score in GRE General : 800

I think all this has already been discussed in the earlier posts.

75 percentile is respectable. I've seen many applicants with 90+ percentile in the GRE Math subject who majored in Math from top schools in China and participated in Math Olympiads. Take into account the talent pool of the programs you plan to apply.

Maybe I should make my profile more concrete.
I am a 4B Actuarial Science student.
My cumulative GPA is 96 (my school use 100% system).
GRE: 620/800 + 4.5
I did not take any pure math courses, so the Math subject test was quite challenging to me ..
I only got 83% in GRE math sub. I am just wondering if sending it will add values to my application.

Thank you very much.
