Relevant transcripts include transcripts which account for the last 60 semester (or 90 quarter) credits of graded work, transcripts from institutions from which you received (or expect to receive) a degree, and transcripts for any other academic work that you would like the Admissions Committee to review.

  2. GRE and GMAT scores

    Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) score reports should be sent directly to the Information School. The institutional code for the GRE for either MSIM program is 4854. The GMAT code for Day MSIM is 459-RN-51 and the GMAT code for Exec MSIM is 459-RN-04.

    We accept GRE and GMAT scores of any age; however, we do require that the score report be sent from an official source, such as the Educational Testing Service (for GRE reports), Graduate Management Admissions Council (for GMAT reports), or from a graduate program you previously attended (on university letterhead). If you cannot obtain an official score report for your previous GRE or GMAT scores, please contact the Information School’s Office of Student and Academic Services at msim@washington.edu.

    Applicants with an earned doctorate (PhD, MD, JD, etc.) are not required to submit GRE or GMAT scores.
