FAQs

• Do I need to include a department code number when requesting to have my GRE and/or TOEFL scores sent to Stanford?

  

  Applicants should have the Educational Testing Service (ETS) send scores electronically to Stanford. Stanford’s ETS institutional code is 4704. If a department code is required, it does not matter which one you choose. As long as you select the institutional code of 4704, the score is electronically delivered to Stanford. You will either self-report your scores or indicate the date you will take the test(s) in the online application. Self-reported test scores will be used by the relevant admissions committee in their initial review process. Your unofficial test scores will be validated when your official scores are received by the University.

• Do any of the 14 Biosciences PhD Programs offer an MS degree program?

  

  The Biomedical Data Science program is the only Biosciences Program that currently offers an MS degree program. Information about the program and its application process can be found on its website. If you are not interested in one of the 14 Biosciences PhD Programs, you can find a list of all the currently offered degrees at Stanford (along with their contact information) on the Graduate Admissions Explore Programs web page.

• Can I defer my enrollment?

  

  Admitted students are expected to enroll in their Home Program in September of the year they are admitted. Deferral requests will be reviewed by your admitting program’s admissions committee and are approved on a case-by-case basis. The maximum length of an admissions deferral granted by Stanford is one year. Typically, deferral requests are only approved for military, medical, visa, or education-related purposes.
