FSU MATH UPDATED GRE SCORE POLICY:

The Department of Mathematics requires GRE V and Q taken within the last five years. Please note that although the GRE score is one element of your application and the program views the entire file holistically in making a determination of admission, high scores on the the GRE Quantitative Reasoning (Q) score are shown by all successful students.

FSU Math's Revised-GRE admissible Q minimum score is 155 (based on current published ETS score concordances). A high Verbal Reasoning (V) score is also desirable. The department will expect Revised-GRE scores V >= 140; for a student with a V score at the bottom of that range, the department will look for a very strong Q score.

GRE history for FSU Mathematics: In the past seven years, students admitted and successful in graduate FSU degree programs have had GRE Q score range 700-800 with modal score 800 and median score 780. The previous minimum expected Verbal Reasoning (V) score was 400 (31st percentile) with admission consideration at lower V levels only when Q was 790 or 800 and the overall file was exceptional. On the old-form GRE, FSU math expected for admissibility a minimum of Q = 700 and a minimum Q+V = 1100. Students admitted near the bottom of the score ranges had lower completion rates than those at the top of the score ranges.

FSU MATH TOEFL - IELTS REQUIREMENT:

The minimum TOEFL score is 80 on the IB-TOEFL, 550 for paper based; minimum IELTS score is a 6.5.
