How to Support Students Through the Application Process

We 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 applicants file is weaker, then we like to see that all other elements are very strong.

We review completed applications in rounds throughout the year. Students are strongly encouraged to apply by 1 February (Priority Admission).泭
