Official GRE Scores
VMCAS allows you to enter scores for GRE, MCAT, IELTS, and TOEFL only. If your programs request additional test scores, provide them to the programs directly.
Reporting GRE Scores
There are two different ways to submit your official GRE scores to VMCAS, depending on a program's requirements:
- Use VMCAS GRE codes for schools that require you to submit official GRE Score reports to VMCAS via Educational Testing Services (ETS).
- Use School GRE codes for schools that require you to submit official GRE Score reports directly to them via ETS.
Use the chart below to locate the appropriate GRE code to use when requesting scores, depending on what the school requires. Contact the programs directly if you have additional questions.
Official GRE scores from ETS can be received by VMCAS at any point during the application cycle, even after your application is submitted or verified; however, some programs may have a deadline by which they want your scores posted. Once your official GRE scores are attached to your application, they cannot be removed.
Submitting Your Official GRE Scores
- Review the list of VMCAS GRE Codes below to determine your program's GRE code. If you are applying to multiple programs, supply each individual code to ensure all programs can view your scores.
- Provide the codes to ETS and request that your scores be released. Check with ETS about their turnaround and processing times.
- After ETS processing, scores are sent to VMCAS in batches and then posted to applications every 2-3 days. Only scores that you requested using VMCAS codes will post to your application. You can view scores attached to your application in the Standardized Tests section of the Check Status tab.
It is your responsibility to follow up on any missing GRE scores in a timely manner. If your scores are not posted within ETS's processing period, contact customer service and provide them with the following details:
- First and last names
- Date of birth
- GRE Registration ID Number
- CAS ID
- Test date and date scores were sent by ETS
We will use this information to determine if we have received the batch and to locate your scores, if possible. If your scores aren't found, we will contact ETS to troubleshoot.
Note: if your name or date of birth appears differently on your GRE than it does on your VMCAS application, your scores will not automatically post to your account. This often happens with applicants with hyphens, apostrophes, etc., in their names. Wait until ETS processes the scores, then contact customer service so they can manually connect the scores to your application.
