Please ask the ETS to use either the departmental code 0702 or the
university code 2548 to send your GRE score. TOEFL score can only be sent
to the university code 2548. We DO NOT accept photocopy of either
scores. The minimum score acceptable by the Graduate School
for admission is 550 for paper based test, 213 for computer based test.
For internet based test, the Graduate School requires 80 for general
admission and 90 for financial aid with teaching assistantship (22 minimum
for each category). Although
TSE may be a helpful reference, it is not required for graduate
admission. There is no minimum GRE requirement, we select top candidates
with GRE scores as part of qualification. GRE subject tests are
not required, but its inclusion may serve as a positive reference.
The minimum GPA required by the Graduate School is 3.0. Applicants with
GPA below 3.0 may be considered for probational admission.
Applicants who have TOEFL score expired but have been awarded degree in
a US college may be eligible to apply for TOEFL waiver from the Graduate
School. The same may be applied to the GRE score.
The Graduate School cannot waive application fee to anyone except
those applicants from Bangladesh. The current application fee is $60.
Your publications and research experience are also helpful to your
application.

The exact number of financial aids varies from year to year and is subject
to the financial situation of the department. Most of the student who
are interested in quantitative finance are self-supported. The department
has very limited financial resouce in this new area. The department puts
emphasis on aiding research in mathematics and its scientific applications.
