I was searching again with google on GRE Math scores, and quote from Univ. Minn.'s FAQ site: "Here are 20 of the GRE Math Subject scores of typical incoming students accepted with financial support, beginning fall 2005: 830 (93%), 790 (88%), 600 (44%), 880 (98%), 800 (89%), 770 (85%), 880 (98%), 590 (42%), 840 (94%), 910 (99%), 900 (99%), 820 (92%), 890 (98%), 820 (92%), 880 (98%), 890 (98%), 730 (77%), 830 (93%), 760 (83%), 650 (57%). Generally speaking, we aim to keep admissions to those with GRE Math Subject Scores above 750, but do on occasion go below that if other factors are strong enough to compensate. Our GPAs ranged from about 3.6 to 3.9, though, again, there can be outliers." You can find this quote on the following link: http://www.math.umn.edu/grad/faq/index.shtml So it does look like one has to score quite high for some programs, or a lot of the top programs, generally speaking. There's only 3 scores in the 40-60% range, the others are like 80+%. Oh well...
