is a score of 790 in gre good enough to get into masters nutrition in grad schools in usa??

A total score of 790? You might have trouble getting into undergraduate programs with that. \nIf it's 790 on one of the sections, then you can probably get into almost any program you want.

I think you might want to contact the academic advisors office of these Universities, they might be able to provide a more valid opinion. \nOn the other hand, perhaps your verbal score (380/800) is less than 50%, raises a concern\n\nKeep trying, remember Abraham Lincoln\n\nBest of luck!

Go to www.ets.org and they will have contact information.  You can try calling the testing center also.\n\nI took the GRE (like the SAT, but for graduate school) there last October.  The testing center was in Uganda house on Kampala road.  You could also try going there to ask.\n\nGood luck!

Well, a master's degree generally takes about 2 years. However Nutrition Science programs are usually very science intensive. You would have to make up any prerequisites such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anatomy and Physiology, math, etc. This may take a year or two to complete depending on your schedule and abilities. Many programs also require an internship or co-op experience which would add on another year before you can become a registered nutritionist. Overall, I would say the program would take between 3 and 4 years to complete. I would recommend talking to college advisors to help determine your exact course of action and if this is really the right option for you.

I suggest you look into the Kaplan review, they have very good reputation when it come to SAT (and other tests)

You should really concentrate on your LSAT score - try private tutoring.  You can get it through Kaplan.  Most schools have a minimum LSAT score that they require (although they will not say it themselves - once it gets to the admissions committee they will shove you into the "no" pile and not even look at your personal statement if your GPA and LSAT aren't good enough.)  So look at the 25-75th percentile ranges - try to apply to schools where you are in that range for a good chance to get in.  However, remember that 25% of students are still below that range.  There is also a feature on http://www.LSAC.org where you can input your GPA and LSAT and see how many students had those scores in the school you are looking at.\n\nThe best thing is for you to increase your LSAT score.  Did you already take it officially, or is that your practice score?  If it is official, some law schools automatically average the LSAT scores together, so it will really only help to take it again if you have a big increase.  But some schools will only take the higher score.  Make sure that you write in a statement with your application why your first score isn't representative of your true potential.\n\nDon't give up hope - if you work at increasing your score, it can pay off.  When I took Kaplan, I increased 9 points.  And you also are starting off lower, so it will be easier to inrease your grade.  You can focus more on the core concepts and it will pay off big.  Make sure you have a professional evaluate your strengths and weaknesses - at Kaplan they have a report based on practice LSAT tests that show you how you score on each concept.\n\nOnce you have maximized your score, you will really want to make yourself stand out in your personal statement. You can get admissions counseling to help you with this.  You may want to do some volunteer work to beef up your resume.  Focus on what makes you different - you have a masters degree, so that is already a strong point.  You should also try and volunteer in a public office (see if the district attorney or mayors office is looking for clerks - many schools have independent study programs where you can volunteer at these sorts of places, then suck up for a really good letter of reccomendation).  An admissions counselor could help you find out exactly what you are missing, and help you put together the perfect application.\n\nYou may also check with the career office at the school you currently attend - mine had a specialized pre-law counselor.  Good luck!!

Congratulations to your son on a wonderful GMAT score!  No offense to the prior poster, but San Diego State's program is brand new, and not generally recognized as being outstanding in the field yet (and their MBA program, while perfectly acceptable. isn't that wonderful overall either).  The original program in the U.S. was Ohio University, and in my experience, it is still the best-known and has the best networking, which is important in that field, at least within the U.S.  I've also heard good things about the programs at Temple University and University of San Francisco.  And some schools with generally good programs, like New York University, the University of Florida, and the University of Georgia, while I don't have direct experience with them, would probably not offer a bad program for fear of harming their overall reputation, so I would trust them too.  In Sports Marketing specifically, the University of Oregon and University Kentucky seem to be particularly strong.

Harvard has a great program too, that specializes in Nutrition. I have been researching Public Health schools for a while and each one seems to have it's own specializations. I also gave the link to an Association that accredits public health schools..good luck in your search.

A few weeks of studying a couple hours a day should be enough to prepare.  Buy Princeton Review's book on the SAT or if you can afford it (it costs about $1000) take their class ... it's well worth it.  The book is good too though.  I did the class for the SAT and did well and used the book for the GRE and did well on that also.

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.

Often a good GRE score, research experience, or letters of recommendation will offset bad grades.\n\nNone of the schools I applied to had a MINIMUM grade point average. Some might have had the average undergraduate GPA or something, but half the students that make it have below average grades, so this is not a minimum.\n\nMaybe you wouldn't get into UCLA or something, but many smaller programs are desperate for students. Apply for schools in a wide range of rankings and see what you get.

According to extensive research, the GRE is a better predictor of success in graduate school than the SAT for college. Also the GRE is one of many factors for gaining admission into graduate school. Your transcript carries the most weight,  followed by GRE,personal statement, letters of recommendations, and then if you're a science major, undergrad research.\n To concisely answer your question, I don't think one test can determine how someone will perform in graduate school.\nIn fact, some graduate schools only consider the GRE if you are applying from a school that the Committee has never heard of(US News and World Report 2005 ranking of Graduate Schools, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon).\nYour best bet is to make sure you have a good transcript.\n In all, I think someone's transcipt is the best predictor of success at the graduate level.

Apply to a University in the U.S. for graduate studies in whatever it is you're interested in.  The better the school, the more resources they're likely to have in terms of resources for international students.  Check out the grad school rankings in US News & World Report - not completely accurate, but the best thing out there & a good place to start. (Link below)\n\nOh yes - there's usually an entrance exam of some type you will need to take according to your area of study.  Grad school in general - GRE, business school - GMAT, etc.  Check out the websites of universities you're interested in - they'll detail what you need to do to apply.

First, it is unclear if you are asking about admission requirements, or requirements for successful completion of a Ph.D. program.  Second, requirements (in both cases) can vary from field to field.  Third, you have not indicated whether you already have a Master's degree.  However, I'll try to provide you with some basic information.\n\nIf you do not already have a Master's degree, you should apply to (and complete) Master's programs first, or combination Master's/PhD programs.  If you DO have a Master's degree, then of course, you will want to apply to PhD programs only. \n\nIn order to gain admission to a combination Master's/ Ph.D. program, you must:\n- have very good test scores (usually the GRE is the appropriate exam to take, but it depends on the field)\n- have excellent letters of recommendation from your undergraduate professors (most importantly, from those in the field in which you intend to study)\n- have an excellent undergraduate GPA (if there are blemishes on your record, they should be OUTSIDE of your intended field)\n- show, in your application statement, your preparation for graduate study in this field.  You should demonstrate familiarity with current research and especially, current theory in the field.  You should also be clear about your own specific research interests.  It is generally a good idea to submit an example of your recent work (a research paper, for example).\n\nA Master's degree usually takes 2 or 3 years (including coursework and thesis) to complete, again, depending on the field.\n\nA PhD usually requires two years of coursework, a year or so of completing language requirements (usually French, German, and any languages relevant to your specific area of specialization) and qualifying exams, and another year (or sometimes more) of researching, writing, and defending the dissertation.  Some fields also require (or encourage) internships, fieldwork or lab research, which can add another year to the time necessary to complete the degree.\n\nMost successful PhD candidates complete the degree in 5 to 7 years, although many take a few years more, especially if they are working full-time while researching and writing their dissertation.\n\nAs to online PhDs, they are utterly worthless in academia.  I also doubt (although I have no concrete proof) that they have much value in the business world, since it is common knowledge that a PhD requires close mentoring from professors and advisors, guided research, and oftentimes, fieldwork, internship,  and/or lab requirements.  None of this could be accomplished well online.   Most successful business executives do not have PhDs anyway; the terminal degree in business is usually the MBA.\n\nI hope this helps!

I just graduated med school and several of my classmates were over 40 (a couple over 50).  I'm sure dental schools will take a good look at you if your grades from your science classes and your DAT scores are OK.  Take a look at http://forums.studentdoctor.net and look at the Pre-Dental and DAT forums.
