How important is grade point average (GPA) in the competitive admissions process?
The minimum required cumulative GPA for admission is 2.85 on a 4.0 scale. A minimum science GPA is not required, however a minimum Science GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale is usually considered competitive. All prerequisite courses must be passed with at least a grade of ‘C’ or better. As with other competitive admissions processes at other universities and colleges, higher GPA’s improve an applicant’s chances for selection. However, the admissions committee does not base its decisions solely on an applicant’s GPA. The overall quality and breadth of academic preparation is also considered.
