GRE Scores

The Graduate School and the Department of Economics requires Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test scores from all applicants.

HOW TO SUBMIT

GRE scores: Ask Educational Testing Service to send an official copy of the scores to The Graduate School. Use institution code 5156. You do not need a department code. If ETS requires a department code, select any one of the department codes listed on its site. Regardless of the department code entered, the scores will come to The Graduate School as long as you use institution code 5156.  Be sure to alert us if the name on your application is different from the name on your score report.

SCORE REQUIREMENTS

The scores must not be more than five years old from July 1 of the application year. For example, if you submit your application between August 2014 and January 2015, your score report must be dated July 1, 2009, or later.

We do not accept expired scores, personal copies of scores, or attested or notarized score reports.

Some departments require a GRE subject test score. To determine if your department requires a GRE subject test score, see the department listing in the Departments and Programs section of The Graduate School website.

NOTES

Even though the GRE scoring scale changed in 2011, you do not need to retake the test on the new scale unless your current scores are more than five years old.

Be sure to take the GRE in time for official scores to reach The Graduate School by the application deadline.

We realize that the GRE scores of international students, particularly those whose first language is not English, may be affected by language and cultural differences. This is taken into consideration when applications are evaluated.
