Test Requirements

Graduate Records Exam (GRE) scores are OPTIONAL for MCM applicants. All applications will be reviewed equally with or without GRE scores. Not submitting GRE scores will not hurt an applicant's chances of admission, nor will submitting GRE scores give applicants an advantage in admissions. To send your GRE scores to Rutgers, use institution code 2790. We review files once the Graduate Admissions office receives your official GRE scores.


Personal Statement Instructions

A personal statement of 300-500 words is required describing your professional and academic background and your career objectives. Please explain why you want to attend the MCM program at Rutgers, what about the program attracts you, and specific areas you would like to study in the program.
