There is no minimum required GRE score. The results of this test represent only one of many factors reviewed in the admission decision.
Some graduate programs (e.g., Mathematics) also require, or strongly recommend, that an applicant report the score of a GRE Subject Test in the respective discipline. Please check with your department to verify.
GRE test results are not valid for more than five years. Applicants should register for either the October or December test dates to ensure the timely receipt of their score results for admission consideration. At the time of test registration, students must notify the Educational Testing Service to report scores directly to UCI. Scores reported by a student cannot be accepted.
