| Admissions policies and procedures
|
Most applicants accepted have an
overall GPA of 3.5 or higher. Attention is on the
applicant's course selection, academic challenge
imposed by the curriculum, and the extent
extracurricular activities/employment limited the
opportunity for high academic achievement.
Applicants are not required to major in a scientific
field and we actively seek individuals with broad
educational backgrounds. |
