For 2021 Applicants Only – GRE Accommodations Due to COVID-19
In response to the test accessibility issues caused by COVID-19, the Center for Bioengineering Innovation & Design (CBID) has decided to make the GRE exam optional for the 2021 admissions cycle. For those applicants that have GRE scores ready, we will accept them. Please note, there will be no admissions advantage in submitting GRE scores. Likewise, there will be no disadvantage to any applicant for not submitting GRE scores. Our program engages in a holistic admissions review, and we expect many competitive applications will not include GRE scores this year.
The Center for Bioengineering Innovation & Design (CBID) and the Office of Engineering Graduate Admissions are actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis does not impact how CBID and the Whiting School evaluates applicants. We will continue to review applications and proceed with offers of admission as usual.
Please contact us at CBID@jhu.edu with any specific questions about the program and/or your application. For all other admissions questions or concerns, please contact Graduate Admissions at WSEGrad-Admissions@jhu.edu.
