Sign up for the FREE GRE® Search Service

With the FREE GRE® Search Service, you can connect with graduate and business schools that are searching for students like you. If you match the recruitment profile of a participating institution, you may be sent information about programs, admission requirements, financial aid opportunities and fellowships.

Anyone considering graduate study may register for the GRE Search Service. You are given the option of being included in the Search Service when you register for a GRE test or you can sign up for the Search Service only. To register for the GRE Search Service:

• create a My GRE account
• select the link for the Search Service registration
• provide the requested information

When you register to participate in the GRE Search Service, your background information, contact information and the broad score bands in which your test scores fall will be added to the GRE Search Service database so that participating schools and fellowship sponsors can locate you.

Participating graduate and business schools and fellowship sponsors search the database on broad GRE score bands in combination with undergraduate grade point averages (UGPA).

• For the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures of the GRE® revised General Test, the score bands are six points or greater (e.g., 150 to 155).
• For individuals who took the GRE® General Test prior to August 2011, the score bands are six points or greater (e.g., 150 to 155) based on estimated scores on the new Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning score scales (130 to 170). The estimated scores have been calculated using a concordance table created for each measure to help compare scores from the prior 200–800 score scales to the new 130–170 scores scales.
• For the Analytical Writing measure, the score bands are a half point or greater (e.g., 4.5 to 5.0).
• For the GRE Subject Tests, the score bands are 90 points or greater (e.g., 600 to 690).

Information on broad score bands or individual GRE test scores will not be part of the output provided to institutions using the GRE Search Service.

Information about you that is provided to participating schools may include any of the following:

• personal information — address, gender, ethnic background, citizenship status, telephone number and email address
• educational/employment background — current educational status, undergraduate institution name, UGPA, undergraduate major and date of graduation, post-graduate full-time work experience
• educational objective — your intended field of graduate work, preference for full-time or part-time graduate study, degree objective, preferred geographic region for graduate study, preferred method of study (e.g., online, on campus) and intended date of enrollment in graduate school
