Test-Score Submission COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog We have been getting many questions recently about test score submission and I want to emphasize an important point: SIPA does not require official test reports (GRE / GMAT / TOEFL / IELTS) for admission consideration.   We accept self reported scores on the application for admission consideration. Thus applicants need not worry about SIPA receiving official test reports by the admission deadline.   Applicants simply need to enter the scores achieved on the application site.   These scores can be entered up to the deadline, even after submitting Part 2 of the admission application. So for example, lets say you submit Part 2 of your application on December 15th after having taken the GRE one time.   If you take the GRE again on December 28th and ETS provides you with your scores within a few days, you log back into your application and report your scores up until January 5th.   We do not need the official score report by January 5th. SIPA will require official test scores only if an applicant is admitted and pays an enrollment deposit.   The enrollment deposit is due by May 1st and official test reports will need to be submitted to our office in June.   Details will follow once admission offers have been made. We still encourage applicants to list the appropriate SIPA code when taking these exams, but you need not worry about the official test reports reaching our office by January 5th.   Also note that we do not average test scores, so you can take test multiple times and we will always take the highest scores achieved.   See below for the appropriate SIPA test codes: GRE Code: 2161 (do not list a department code) GMAT for MIA: QF8-64-56 GMAT for MPA: QF8-64-99 TOEFL:   2161
