    More Information: APPLYING TEST OPTIONAL:

    The Master of Supply Chain Management program strongly encourages applicants to submit official GRE or GMAT test scores. Applicants are most competitive when demonstrating strong quantitative skills with a high Q score. There is no preference for GMAT or GRE.

    Applicants can submit GRE/GMAT test scores or fill out our Test Optional question.

    To make the matching of test scores more efficient and accurate, we ask that you upload any PDF copies of scores from your GRE or GMAT score report.

    If applying with test scores, you must complete the Self-Reported Test Score Section.

    Online Video Interview
    All applicants must complete a short video interview by the deadline. You will need a computer with internet access, a webcam and a microphone (you may also use a smartphone). The video interview allows us to get to know you better, assess your communication skills and your ability to think quickly and creatively. Use of AI or reading your responses defeats the purpose of the interview.

    We value your natural and fully human responses. We will be in touch within a few business days of your application submission with further instructions on how to complete the video interview. You will have until the deadline to submit your video interview or an additional three business days to complete the interview if submitting the application on the deadline.

    Recommendations
    Two recommendations are required. Preferably, recommendations should be provided by professional contacts versus personal contacts. If you do not have professional work experience, you may use academic contacts.
    Designate your recommenders in your online application profile. Recommenders will immediately receive an email directing them to an online form where they will upload a letter of recommendation. Please do not enter recommender information until you are ready for them to be contacted. Recommendations must be received before applications are considered complete and ready for review. It is strongly encouraged that you follow up directly with your recommenders to ensure letters are uploaded before the deadline

    Non-Native English Speaker Information
    Graduate School requirement: English language proficiency (ELP) is required for graduate study at the University of Washington. Therefore, every applicant whose native language is not English must demonstrate English language proficiency as outlined in Graduate School Policy 3.2.
