• Only 20 students accepted each year.
• Average number of applicants who COMPLETE the application process is 62.
• Applicants who meet the 2400 graduate formula below will be competitive. Applicants below the 2400 graduate formula will most likely not be interviewed for a position in the class and thus not be competitive.
  • (300 x GPA*) + GRE Verbal + GRE Quantitative + GRE Analytical Writing** = 2400 minimum points
    * Calculated using overall undergraduate GPA or last 60 hours GPA, whichever is higher
    ** Analytical Writing Conversion:

    1.0 = 300	2.5 = 320	4.0 = 460	5.5 = 700
    1.5 = 300	3.0 = 350	4.5 = 540	6.0 = 760
    2.0 = 300	3.5 = 400	5.0 = 620

    
    For example: A student with a 3.1 overall GPA scores 500 GREV, 500 GREQ and a 3.5 GREAW
    (300 x 3.1) + 500 + 500 + 400 = 2330 (This student most likely will not be interviewed.)
