GRE Scores
The Graduate School requires all applicants to provide GRE (Graduate Record Examination) General Test scores (Exceptions: see note to Global Health and Business Administration applicants below). The scores must not be more than five years old, and an official copy must be sent to the Graduate School, institution code 5156, directly from the Educational Testing Service. Personal copies are not acceptable, nor are "attested" or notarized copies. Some departments require the GRE Subject Test as well; see the departmental descriptions in the section Departments and Programs.
The Graduate School receives GRE scores electronically from the Educational Testing Service. Because we match scores by an applicant's name, it is important that you explicitly call our attention to any discrepancies that might occur between your name as reported on your application forms and as recorded on your GRE scores.
If you are applying for fall admission and award, be sure to take the GRE in time for official scores to reach us by the application deadline. For further information on the GRE and registration forms, please visit the GRE website at http://www.gre.org.
Note to international applicants: We realize that the GRE scores of international students, particularly those whose native language is not English, may be affected by language and cultural differences. This is taken into consideration when such students' applications are evaluated. The scores are nevertheless required and must come directly from the Educational Testing Service.
Note to Global Health Applicants: Applicants to Global Health may submit either GRE or MCAT scores. Please print a copy of your MCAT score report with the validating code and submit to the Graduate School in support of your application. The admission staff will contact MCAT to verify that your scores are official.
Note to Business Administration Applicants: Applicants to Business Administration may submit either GRE or GMAT scores. Please submit GMAT scores to institution code Q13.LX.66.
