GRE Requirement

The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin does not require GRE scores as part of the application for the MSSLHS, AuD, and PhD programs. The GRE score submission is optional for applicants who would like to use the GRE score as supplemental information to show the Admissions Committees their potential to succeed in the program. Applicants who do not submit GRE scores will not be put at a disadvantage. Applicants are encouraged to submit all documents that may help the Admissions Committees evaluate their academic and life experiences, as well as their potential to contribute to the community of the department. All materials of each completed application such as a resume, statement of purpose, recommendation letters, GPA, and GRE scores (optional), will be considered and assessed in their entirety by the Admissions Committees.

Admission Decisions

Admissions decisions are typically announced the second week of March prior to UT Austin closing for Spring Break. Decisions are announced on your MyStatus Page regarding our decision of either ‘ADMIT’ or ‘DENY’. Those students who may be placed on a 'waiting list' will have their admission decision posted on the MyStatus Page after all those admitted in early March have responded with a decision.

Please do not call or email the Graduate Office to check your status.
