MS without GRE Score Requirements in US  

Yocket Editorial Team
Updated on 30 September, 2020




GRE serves as a standardized test for graduate applicants. It consists of 3 sections - quantitative, verbal, and analytical writing - and lasts for nearly four hours. For any higher education abroad aspirant, especially the ones who have been working in the industry for a while now, GRE can represent a significant challenge in terms of making time to prepare for it. For many other applicants with a good overall profile, an average GRE score can dampen their prospects of securing admission in a reputed university. Apart from these two aspects, the cost of appearing for the GRE as well as sending the scores adds another significant expense to the application process. All this while the GRE scores do not play the most significant role in securing admission because it fails to test the probability of success in graduate school means that many universities are now doing away with the need to take the GRE. However, there are universities that don't require GRE for Masters in the USA and you can pursue MS in CS in the USA without GRE

Multiple universities throughout the United States do not require the GRE scores as a part of the graduate studies application or keep it as an optional submission. In the case of optional GRE scores, not submitting the scores is unlikely to have a lessening effect on the application but a good score can contribute but not to a great extent.

MS without GRE - Universities in the USA

  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology - One of the world’s top universities for computer science and engineering fields, they do not require candidates to submit the GRE score in order to complete their application for certain programs. This fact that a prestigious university like Massachusetts institute of technology does not request GRE scores highlights the fact that they are not as central to graduate admissions as one would expect given the fuss surrounding it.

  • Purdue University - Computer Science Programs - Another reputed university that does not require the GRE is Purdue. Purdue University is a public research university in West Lafayette, Indiana that is consistently ranked among the top 20 graduate schools in the USA. This one of the best university that offers MS CS in the USA without GRE

  • Stevens Institute of Technology - It is a private research university in New Jersey that admits graduate students to all its programs without the GRE scores. Students can definitely consider their MS in CS in the USA without GRE at this university.

  • The University of Dayton - A national research university in the state of Ohio, it has made the GRE scores optional for all applicants. This university is ranked among the Top 100 universities and yet it doesn't require GRE for masters.

  • California State University, Sacramento - Located in the same state as the Silicon Valley, it not only provides great opportunities but also does not need the GRE scores from the applicants. It comprises seven academic colleges that offer around 58 graduation disciplines. Considering this, it is a very good option for MS in the US without GRE.

Many universities outside of the USA also do not require the GRE scores for MS.

Other Universities that do not require a GRE score

Switzerland

EPFL, Switzerland – One of the premier research institutes in Europe, EPFL needs no introduction. They have made both GRE and TOEFL scores optional for graduate applications.


UK

Oxford University, United Kingdom – UK’s premier university, Oxford does not take GRE scores into the graduate admission decision. This makes it easier for students and completed their MS without GRE.
 

Canada

University of Toronto, Canada – A leading university in Canada, they do not mandate GRE scores for the graduate applicants which allows students to better focus on other aspects of their applications.

There are many more Universities that don't require GRE for masters but it is not possible to list all such institutes. Therefore, it is recommended that you yourself look up the application requirements of the universities you wish to study at.
 

GRE Substitution

GRE is considered a standardized test for graduate schools, regardless of the studies, one is expected to undertake. However, in many universities, the GRE score is substituted by a more relevant examination such as LSAT in the case of the Ph.D. (Law) program and the GMAT for Ph.D. (Management) at Yale University.
 

GRE Waiver

Many universities provide a conditional GRE waiver – one of the prominent examples is the Illinois Institute of Technology which allows students with a minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0 to apply for the professional master’s program without needing to send in their GRE scores. This demonstrates how GRE is not considered a true parameter of a student’s ability to succeed in graduate school.

Traditionally, GRE has been accepted by all US universities but is now requested by many European and Asian universities. Although there is a growing acceptance of GRE as a standardized test for graduate studies, leading universities like Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore consider GRE waiver requests from prospective students.
 

Applying for MS without GRE IN USA

There is a common perception that universities that don’t require GRE scores for MS tend to be not as good as their counterparts – this is true in many cases where it serves as a gimmick to attract students to their graduate students. However, as highlighted above, many well-reputed universities are beginning to rely less on GRE as predictive indicators of a candidate’s ability to take on and complete graduate studies. More Universities have started to give more emphasis on SOPs, LORs, co-curricular, etc. Yocket Premium can assist you immensely while drafting the SOP and LOR by taking it to the next level that matches the SOP with what the university wants to hear.
