Meeting the requirement does not guarantee admission, the actual standard for admission is set by the current pool of applicants and is generally much higher. All applicants are required to take the GRE general test, we do not require a subject test. Scores older than five years will not be accepted. We do not accept the GMAT exam in place of the GRE exam.
