*Request a GRE Waiver Due to COVID-19 Accessibility Issues
In response to the test accessibility issues caused by COVID-19, as part of the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE), CBID will offer those applicants impacted by COVID-19 access issues a waiver of the required GRE for the 2022 admissions cycle. This applies to Master’s degree graduate applications for the CBID Summer 2022 start term. Applicants may be asked for documentation to support this request.
How to Request a GRE Waiver Due to COVID-19
If you qualify for the GRE waiver based on COVID-19 accessibility issues, you must apply directly in the application. Please do not email CBID or Engineering Graduate Admissions for this request. When applying as a CBID Master’s student, follow the instructions on the “GRE Waiver Request” section to complete all required fields. This section is dependent on all fields being completed in the earlier “Program Information” section.
Our program engages in holistic admissions review and we expect many competitive applications will not include GRE scores this year. We will review all applications equally and there will be no disadvantage to applicants with approved waivers.
Please contact us at [email protected] with any specific questions about the program and/or your application. For all other admissions questions or concerns, please contact Graduate Admissions at [email protected].
