Official Test Scores (GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS)

​

All applicants should request that the appropriate testing service forward official test score results to our office. Please note that it is not sufficient for the student to simply submit either the unofficial or official test taker copy. The appropriate Washington University/Olin institution codes for each test are as follows:

​​​ Institution Code ​	Master of Accounting (MACC)	Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSA)	Master of Science in Finance (MSF)	Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (MSSCM)	Global Master of Finance  (GMF)
GMAT:	R4T-WG-62	R4T-WG-73	R4T-WG-53	R4T-WG-16	R4T-WG-53
GRE:	4937	3764	4938	4929	4938
TOEFL:*	​​​6929​
IELTS:*	​Search by "Washington University in St. Louis"

TOEFL or IELTS is not required for U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents or individuals waived from this requirement.

Transcripts/Academic Records:

All enrolling students must submit official transcripts that include all coursework taken and the grades received for each course, as well as any transcript instructions or descriptions provided by the institution. Transcripts for study abroad programs or transfer credits are not required if the course titles, grades and credit hours are included on the transcript of the degree-granting institution.

Students must show proof of degree. For most US institutions (and many non-US institutions) an official transcript sent directly from the university or college will include the degree awarded and date the degree was conferred. If you have not yet graduated, the official transcript from the degree-granting institution should be sent as it becomes available.

For students who have graduated from non-US institutions where the academic transcript does not show degree awarded and date of degree conferral, it will be necessary for you to bring your diploma, diploma book or other equivalent document with you to St. Louis. When you arrive—and before the start of classes—you must bring your transcript to the Olin Graduate Programs Admission for visual verification. These documents will then be returned to you. ​

International students must submit both an original-language document and an English translation.

Official transcripts may be submitted as follows:
