How are application criteria evaluated (for example, how much emphasis is placed on GPA or GRE scores)?
We review applications as a whole and do not base decisions on any particular piece. For example, if GRE scores lower but your GPA is high we’ll take that into consideration. We suggest that if one area of your application is weak you put a greater focus and effort towards another aspect of the application.
