Graduate Record Examination (GRE)

Institution Code: 0982
Department Code: 1801
  • All applicants who do not have a degree (undergraduate or graduate) from a Canadian university must submit an official GRE® General Test score (no exceptions).
  • Applicants who have a degree from a Canadian university are strongly encouraged to submit an official GRE® General Test Score, especially if their undergraduate degree is not from a major university.
  • Test scores more than two years old by the application deadline of January 11, 2013 will not be accepted (no exceptions).
  • This requirement must be met before a decision will be made on an application.
  • Note: The GMAT cannot be substituted for the GRE.
The range of GRE scores has recently changed, and we do not yet know the how to interpret the new scores. On the old scoring system we expected applicants to achieve at least 700 in the Quantitative Reasoning section and at least 3.5 in the Analytical Writing section.

You must arrange for your official results to be sent directly to the Economics Graduate Office. See the application information and procedures for the mailing address.

Please ensure that your first and last name is exactly the same on the GRE as it is on the online application to our program. If the names do not match exactly, your GRE score will not be matched with your application. If you erroneously use different names, you must notify the Economics Graduate Office giving the names used in each case and your applicant number.
