The GRE exam can be taken any time by computer testing.

But that student would need to achieve at least a 3.0 GPA the first semester in the program.

GRE scores remain current for five years after the test is taken, and ETS will only forward scores for tests taken within the past five years. We can accept older scores if the applicant has an official, original (not copied) printout. If the applicant is admitted on that basis, the official printout must then be taken in person to the Admissions section of Graduate Division for verification, where a copy will be made and the original returned to the student.

Most of our students have GRE scores near the 90 percentiles, and in general that is what we expect to see among our students. However, we don't preclude people based on low GRE scores. If there is a good explanation and/or we have other reliable data to indicate that it doesn't matter, then we can, (and have), ignored poor scores. For example, there are historical cases with scores under 60 percentile (but not many).
