Admissions, Academics, and Finances

Admission RequirementsWe take a holistic approach to application review, which means we give equal weight to all application elements, and therefore do not disqualify an applicant based on not meeting a minimum GPA requirement or obtaining a minimum score on a standardized test.
However, competitive applicants tend to have unweighted GPAs of 3.3 or higher, and if they decide to submit them, standardized test scores in the 80% or higher.
If one portion of an applicant’s file is weaker, then we like to see that all other elements are very strong.
