- Q: What is the minimum score required on the GRE?
A:
Official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are required as part of the application and are sent to the UTD Office of Enrollment Services. Desirable are GRE scores of at least 350 Verbal (or 143, revised scoring system) and 700 Quantitative (or 155, revised scoring system), with a combined score of at least 1200 (or 300, revised scoring system). Exceptions are made in some cases, however, when other credentials are especially strong. For Teaching Assistantships, higher standards prevail. Competitive applications include strong GRE scores.
