Should I send my GRE Math sub score?

[JimHua]

I just get my GRE sub test score it is 89% and row score is 850. Could anyone give me some suggestions? You know I am Chinese and it seems that NYU or Princeton has higher requisite for Chinese applicant.

While most programs don't require it, it can only help you as it's a good score.

 

[JimHua]

Thank you ! That is why I am asking whether 89% is a good score? Is that acceptable? Will it cause some negative effects?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

Yes, it's a good score. 70th percentile or up is a good one.

Thanks a lot! I just want to make sure that even though for those top 10 MFE school? Because I heard a totally different story from my friend in China.

Your friend in China may not be familiar with MFE admission in the US.

It is indeed a good score for MFE. Maybe it is not a best one if you try to apply for a PhD in mathematics, but in my opinion mathematics is only part of the game in financial engineering.
