No necessarily while UCLA's requirement for the GRE varies by graduate program.
Here are the key points regarding GRE requirements for UCLA graduate programs:
General Requirement: Many graduate programs at UCLA do not require the GRE for admission, particularly for the 2025-2026 admissions cycle. Some programs have made the GRE optional, allowing applicants to submit scores voluntarily if they believe it will strengthen their application
Specific Programs:
For example, the Computer Science department will not require the GRE for the 2025-2026 admissions cycle, but applicants may submit scores voluntarily
Similarly, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering programs also do not require GRE scores for the 2023-2024 academic year, with scores being optional for holistic review
The English graduate program explicitly states that the GRE is not required
Contacting Programs: Since requirements can vary significantly between departments, it is advisable for prospective students to contact the specific graduate program they are interested in to confirm whether the GRE is required or optional
