the correct GRE code for each PT program that requires the exam for admission.
If not, the PT program will not receive their official scores. Early
Decision candidates must take the GRE and request scores to be sent by no later
than July 31. For a list of GRE codes and more information, go to http://www.ptcas.org/Tests/.
