Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Scores

Most departments require GRE scores. Applicants are advised to take the GRE in the fall prior to the fall term for which admission is sought. Full consideration of the admission application can take place only after all required documents including test scores have been received. Some programs require additional tests or other alternatives. Check your  to determine which tests are required.

Official GRE score reports must be sent to your intended department. When ordering your GRE score reports use UCSD's institution code 4836 and the department code that most closely resembles the department to which you are applying. The department codes are located at the back of the GRE bulletin. GRE score reports are mailed to the university four to six weeks after the test is administered.
