GREs and COVID-19: All areas require GRE scores with the exception of students applying to our Brain and Cognitive Sciences program. An at-home version (https://www.ets.org/s/cv/gre/at-home/) of the GRE General is currently available due to the pandemic. We do not require or recommend taking the subject test this year. Students experiencing hardship in completing the GRE General due to COVID may request a waiver with their application by submitting a letter outlining their situation in lieu of uploading their scores with their application. Such requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
