Step 3: Optional GRE Scores

You may choose to submit official GRE scores (less than five years old). It is expected that most applicants will not provide GRE scores, but they are optional for those who feel that GRE scores will strengthen their application credentials. It is in no way required; applications without GRE scores will receive full review without disadvantage.

If you want to include GRE scores in your application, please follow these guidelines: Request to have GRE test scores sent electronically to UNC (UNC's institutional code is 4074).

Required minimum scores:

  • 140 Quantitative;
  • 146 Verbal Reasoning;
  • Combined score of at least 297;
  • Analytical Writing 3.5

Please note, UNC does not accept GRE Subject Test scores.
