4 -What is the deadline to apply?
5 -What is the minimum GRE?
Answer: GRE scores are currently waived until further notice from Graduate School.
Our graduate committee looks at GRE scores, transcripts, letters of recommendation,
and a statement of purpose in evaluating applications for admission, as well as any
other supporting documentation, such as a résumé, that you wish to send. We consider
all these factors with none of them being the determining factor for admission. Because
each semester applications are evaluated based on the total number of applications
received that semester, there is no statistical data on minimum GRE or GPA associated
with successful applications. The number of admitted students is also determined by
the number of faculty who have openings in their research areas. Financial aid is
awarded at the time of admission.
Official scores on the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) must be no more than five years old.
