Prerequisite Summary and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages will be
available on the site by mid-June. The 2013-14 PTCAS application will

NEW GRE CODES
Many PT programs have new “PTCAS GRE codes” this year. A
“PTCAS GRE code” is unique to the PT program and differs from the university’s
main GRE code for other graduate programs. Applicants must arrange for the
Educational Testing Service (ETS) to send their official GRE scores to the
correct code for each selected PT program. There is no single GRE code for
PTCAS. To view the instructions and list of codes, go to http://www.ptcas.org/Tests/.
