FAQs

  • GRE scores are not required and are not considered by the Admissions Committee during the evaluation process even if they are included in an application.

  • English waivers are credited to those who received (within 36 months before admission) a baccalaureate degree or graduate or professional degree from a school where English is the primary language of instruction in a country where English is the native/official language.

  • Waivers are credited during the decision-admission process when the review committee looks at an applicant’s transcript(s). The English score section of the application will not automatically populate when you enter your university information. An application is included in the review, even though marked: Awaiting Material/English Scores.

  • There is no specific word limit for the Statement of Purpose for the CS department but it is best to keep it concise and follow the outline given here: https://www.cs.purdue.edu/graduate/admission/SoP.html. We recommend staying within 300-500 words, but that is not a hard requirement.
