这是ASU英语系的标准，既然是英语系，对verbal的要求比较高
==============================
Graduate Record Examination: Applicants must submit scores on the Verbal
Aptitude of the GRE. Normally， they should achieve a score in the 85th
percentile or higher.
另一种计算方法
==============================
The Admissions Committee uses the Fricke Index to screen applicants. The
Index is calculated using the G.P.A. as well as the Verbal and Quantitative
GRE scores. Two separate Fricke Indices are calculated: (1) using GRE
scores and G.P.A. for junior and senior undergraduate grades， and (2) using
GRE scores and G.P.A. for the master's degree (if applicable). Normally， it
is expected that the minimum standards will be Indices of 5.6 (using junior-
senior G.P.A.) and 6.0 (using master's degree G.P.A.). For example， an
Index of 5.6 is equivalent to 50th percentile scores on the two GRE
measures and a G.P.A. of 3.4 on a 4.0 scale. The Fricke Index is calculated
using the following formula: Fricke Index= [Verbal GRE + Quantitative
GRE]/400 + G.P.A.

Dear Prospective Graduate Student:
We have received your inquiry concerning graduate work in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering.
We consider only very highly qualified applicants for admission. The
minimum achievement for consideration is a first-class rating， a 3.00 GPA
on a 4.00 scale in the last 60(+) credits in your undergraduate degree， or
a 78% standing in a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program. Students
must be thoroughly conversant with written and spoken English， and
international students are required to take either the TOEFLexamination
(scores above 580 are desirable) or the Michigan ELI (scores above 90 are
preferred). Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores are required. A GRE score
(Verbal + Quantitative + Analytical) less than 1500 is considered marginal
for admission in the older test method. A total of 1100 or better in Verbal
and Quantitative and 3.5 or better in the Analytical in the newest test
method. Applicants with scores less than admissible should retake the exam
or supply reasons for their low score with the application. While the above
are the minimum requirements for admission， past experience indicates that
only truly exceptional students receive offers of support from faculty in
our Department.
Sincerely yours，
Linda S. Aaberg
ME Graduate Secretary
