The GRE is an important tool enabling Fulbright committee to compare applicants coming from diverse backgrounds, academic disciplines, and geographic regions.

The minimum requirement is 135 out of 170 (300 on the old version) on each section of GRE. The GRE scores are required for placement at a U.S. university.

However, different disciplines have different GRE score requirements. For examples, English literature will not require a high score in the quantitative section and engineering fields may not require a high score in the verbal. Economics might require good scores in both sections.

Moreover, it is understood that students coming from elite schools may have an advantage in the verbal portion of the GRE and such factors are taken into account in determining merit.

Although this is a difficult question to answer directly, but if you want to feel safe i wuld say anything above 155 on quant and 150 on verbal is considered competitive.

Good Luck!
