To get into a top university in the U.S. for an MS in Computer Science, a competitive GRE score typically falls within the range of 320-330, with quantitative scores being especially important, often above 165. However, many top programs may not require GRE scores or consider them optional, but having a strong score can still enhance your application. Universities like MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are highly regarded for their Computer Science programs. Along with GRE scores, academic performance, research experience, and strong recommendation letters also play crucial roles in admissions.

There is no minimum GRE score it depends on various factors and the entire profile matters only good GRE is not sufficient to get admission in good university.
