Is the GRE or GMAT required? Applicants to the following full-time master’s programs that begin in fall of 2024 Master of Public Policy (MPP) MA in Public Policy (MA) MS in Computational Analysis and Public Policy (MSCAPP) and MA in Public Policy with Certificate in Research Methods (MACRM) must either meet one of the four waiver criteria listed on this page or submit a GRE test. Applicants will submit the waiver criteria information as part of their application. Students will attest to the criteria and provide supporting documentation in the application. Please note, this information should not be sent via email. It must be uploaded and submitted as part of your application in order to be considered by the admissions committee. Students may submit unofficial scores as part of their application and must provide official score when they enroll. Scores no older than five years as of the application deadline for the round in which you apply will be considered. Please note, this may vary from the ETS range for validity. We strongly encourage all applicants to submit scores taken more recently, preferably within two years of applying. The results of computer-based tests taken no less than four weeks in advance of our deadlines for full-time admission should arrive in time for review within an application round. To ensure release by the deadline, we recommend releasing no later than six weeks in advance of an application deadline. For admissions to full-time programs, we will accept the GRE or the GMAT score. For those applicants who are currently enrolled in a joint-degree program with the Law School, we will consider your LSAT scores. Please visit our requirements and deadline page for more information on the GRE Waiver Process. PhD applicants must submit the GRE and cannot request a waiver. (Note: Test scores are not required for the Evening Master's Program.)
