GRE Score
Fore most students, the MSETM program requires completion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test regardless of undergraduate grade point average.

The GRE General Test assesses verbal, quantitative and analytical ability. The GRE test scores must be received by the Office of Graduate Studies and Research prior to admission. The admission decision is based upon both the undergraduate transcript grade point average and the GRE verbal and quantitative scores. The GAP score is the sum of the GRE verbal and quantitative scores multiplied by the overall undergraduate grade point average. For example, a GRE score of 800 (400 verbal + 400 quantitative) and a grade point average of 3.5/4.0 would produce a GAP score of 2800. The required GAP score for MSTM is 2200.

Previous graduate course work does not have any bearing on admission requirements (i.e., GAP score calculation). Conditional admission can be granted into the MSTM program with a gap score of less than 2200, but additional application materials (work samples, statement of career goals, letters of support, etc .) may be required. Applicants who do not meet the GAP requirement may pursue alternate admission strategies.
