Applicants to the area of Real Estate and Project Management in the degree program Master in Design Studies may submit the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) in lieu of the GRE. Although recent scores are preferred, tests taken within the last five years are acceptable. Applicants are urged to take the GRE (or GMAT, if applicable) as early as possible to ensure that their scores arrive at the school by the appropriate application deadline. If official GRE scores are not received by the appropriate deadline, the application will not be reviewed. When requesting that GRE or GMAT scores be sent to Harvard University, applicants should use the institution code for the Graduate School of Design (3455); a department code is not needed.

A score of 600 (paper-based) or 250 (computer-based) is preferred. All applicants with scores below 60 (paper) or 25 (computer) in any of the individual sections will be required to enroll in an English as a Second Language course at Harvard during the summer before registration at the GSD.

Accuracy of Application7 d5 Y( Y) T; ~
It is important that applications be accu-rate and complete. Occasionally, candi-dates for admission or financial aid have made inaccurate statements or submit-ted false materials. In most cases, these misrepresentations are discovered during the admission process; the applicant is then rejected, and notification is made to such other universities or testing serv-ices as may be appropriate. If a misrep-resentation is discovered after a candidate is admitted or a degree has been awarded, dismissal or revocation of the degree will ordinarily result. Application materials become the prop-erty of the GSD and cannot be returned (with the exception of the portfolio) or forwarded to any other party. Although every effort will be made to return portfolios if appropriate arrangements are made, the GSD will not be responsible for lost or damaged portfolios.

A transcript of the results of the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) must be received with each application for admission to a degree program. International applicants to degree programs are required to submit GRE test scores. The GRE is not necessary for application as a special student. Applicants to the area of Real Estate and Project Management in the degree program Master in Design Studies may submit the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) in lieu of the GRE. Although recent scores are preferred, tests taken within the last five years are acceptable. Applicants are urged to take the GRE (or GMAT, if applicable) as early as possible to ensure that their scores arrive at the school by the appropriate application deadline. If official GRE scores are not received by the appropriate deadline, the application will not be reviewed. When requesting that GRE or GMAT scores be sent to Harvard University, applicants should use the institution code for the Graduate School of Design (3455); a department code is not needed.

After a student enrolls, he or she must recertify funds if there is a change in visa status or if an I-20 must be extended.

* g2 P6 @9 l* G0 b2 t
The GSD occasionally admits special students who generally meet the qualifications for admission to the school but do not intend to be degree candidates. The special student program is normally for those who have sufficient professional experience such that following a regular degree program would not be to their best advantage. Special students must follow the regular admission procedures. Their applications must include a proposed program of study. They must pay full tuition for a one-year residency and are ineligible for financial aid. Special students may enroll in or audit courses, but need not pursue a full academic program. They normally do not participate in design studios. Special students generally will not be considered for admission to degree programs at a later date. 9 C5 |1 X* K2 R; J8 v( V
