GRE (Graduate Record Examination)
You are required to submit valid General Test scores from Educational Testing Serice (ETS). Please note that GRE scores expire after five years from your original test date and will not be available from ETS. Refer to the departmental requirements to determine if a Subject Test is required. Although the Graduate School does not have a minimum score requirement each department may have set their own.
When registering for the test, you must request that your scores be sent to Princeton University, institution code 2672. Department codes are not used at Princeton, if you are required to select a code choose one closest to your interest. In addition, you can upload a copy of your score report in the additional information section of the electronic application. Please note that copies of scores are NOT official and we still require the official scores sent directly from ETS.
Allow several weeks for test scores to reach the University, the Graduate Admission Office will update your submitted application checklist when the scores are received. To ensure timely receipt of GRE scores, applicants are urged to take the paper exam in October, or the computer-based test no later than December 1. An application is considered incomplete without these scores.
