No. We view the GRE as one indicator of potential for graduate study. While we are generally looking for applicants that score above the 75th percentile in each category, over the years we have admitted students with a range of GRE scores. Thus, we neither accept nor reject applicants on the basis of their GRE scores alone.

The GRE is required ONLY if an applicant’s cumulative undergraduate GPA is less than 3.0. The required score on the GRE is 1000 or better (verbal and quantitative sections combined). All applications are reviewed. Strong candidates who do not meet grade point average criterion may be admitted on academic probation for the first 15 credit hours.

We admit applicants with a wide variety of GRE scores; there is no specific minimum required. All applications are viewed as complete packages, and strong letters of recommendation, excellent GPA from transcripts, and a focused and well-written statement of purpose can help to offset middle range GRE scores.

Applicants must take the GRE, including the writing component, but there is not a minimum score required.

Admission to the Ph.D. progarm is based on an overall evaluation of applicants' scores, grades, recommendation letters, as well as potential for scholarship in our program. A general guideline for admission is a minimum score of 1200 on the combined verbal and quantitive GREs.

The Admissions Committee views the GRE as one indicator of potential for graduate study. Applicants are neither accepted nor rejected on the basis of their GRE scores alone. Applicant profiles are constructed in such a way that no single factor is considered in isolation.

In general, we require a score of 90% or higher on the analytical section of the GMAT or the analytical and quantitative section of the GRE. It is very rare that an applicant with a score below 85% is accepted, unless there are very strong counter-balancing factors, such as an outstanding undergraduate academic performance, or compelling evidence of extenuating circumstances.

The department considers all components of the application. There are therefore no specific GRE or GPA minimums.

The minimum GRE score is a combined score of 2000 out of a possible 2400 (800+800+(133.33 * 6.0)=2400). Foreign students whose native language is not English are required to submit an official TOEFL examination score of 250 or 600 (depending on which test was taken) better unless they have spent at least three years at an academic institution in an English speaking country.

There is no minimum GRE score. Our incoming students usually score above the 75th percentile in all areas.

Regarding the GPA, GRE and TOEFL scores, there is no rigid minimum cut-off score for admission to the program. The GRE score and the GPA are considered together along with all information in the application. However, an applicant with a combined GRE score of at least 1050 with at least 550 on the math portion would have a reasonable probability of admission as a Master's applicant, assuming that the student's other credentials were in order (1200 and 650 for Ph.D.).

There is no minimum score required. However, admission to the program is very competitive, so we encourage you to do your very best. Both the General and Subject GRE are required for admission to the MBT program. You can take the Subject test in a relevant subject of your choice. Both computer-based and paper-based scores are accepted.

The clinical psychology program has established no firm “cut-off” scores—other than the minimum grade point average required by the university—for admission to the program. All applications are evaluated individually on a case-by-case basis. However, our program receives applications from more individuals than we have the resources to admit. Space and financial considerations therefore require us to deny admission to a number of otherwise qualified candidates.

There is not a standard minimum GRE General score for the Department of Physics. For more information, please visit http://gradschool.brown.edu/go/greinfo.

There is no "minimum" score. GRE scores from all applicants are assembled in rank order; however the GRE score is only one component of the application and other factors, in particular undergraduate performance, weigh heavily in the decision process.

We consider your entire application to make decisions on admission and support. A high GRE score alone does not guarantee admission. There are also no specified minimum scores for the GRE, but be aware that admission is highly competitive so high scores are expected unless there is some other significant strength in the application that can make up for it.
