In this case, one letter may come from an employer but the remaining two must come from professors. If you have teaching or tutoring experience, you may include evaluations or letters from former students, but these will not count as any of the three required letters of recommendation. Applicants will not be admitted without GRE scores. You should take the exam at least two-three months before our application deadline to ensure that your scores arrive on time. Persons unable to do this should notify the Department in writing and must get the scores to us as soon as possible, as your file will not be reviewed until it is complete.
Verbal scores are the most important.
Have the official GRE scores sent directly to the Office of Admissions and a photocopy sent to Asian Languages and Literature. An applicant with a score under 600 on the paper exam or 250 on the computer exam will be required by the University to take an English evaluation exam. This is something you should consider before applying.
