How does the committee weigh GPA, test scores, research experience and so forth?
We do not have a specific point system for each factor. The committee examines each application as a whole and considers the applicant based on the interviews as well as the applicant’s documentation. GPA and test scores may reflect the applicant’s performance, aptitude and abilities, but we look at the individual’s life experiences, commitment to research, interests and the inclination and capacity to pursue a rigorous program of study required to complete the dual degrees. We look for students with a substantial degree of research experience, not necessarily years of experience, but level of autonomy, understanding of the process of research and depth of knowledge.
