Is the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) required?
Yes. All applicants are required to submit scores to the registrar as part of the application process. There is no minimum GRE score required for admission but the average combined is 1300. The average score for the writing sample is 4.4. Scores from the GRE general examination must be submitted by the application deadline. GRE scores expire after five year. UTSW’s GRE school code is 6686.
Effective May 2006, the GRE is no longer an admission requirement for applicants with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.7 or higher. Applications for candidates with less than a 2.7 cumulative GPA will be reviewed by the appropriate program director for an admissions decision and may include additional requirements (e.g., personal interview, GRE/GMAT, etc.) For more information about the GRE and test scheduling in Buffalo, call the Thomson Prometric Center at 716-565-0570.
