Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores

Some departments may require GRE scores. For those required to submit exam scores, applicants are advised to take the GRE in the fall prior to the fall term for which admission is sought. Some programs require additional tests or other alternatives. Check your department to determine which tests are required.

Official GRE score reports must be sent to UC San Diego's institution code 4836. Electronic GRE score reports are sent to the university two to four weeks after the test is administered.
