On what basis are admissions decisions made?
These are based on evaluation of your complete undergraduate (and/or graduate) record, GRE scores and letters of recommendation. Generally, a minimum GPR of 3.3 is required to be considered for admission into the graduate program. However, please note that the average GPR for admitted students in previous years was 3.65. While there is no minimum GRE score required, the average quantitative GRE score for students accepted in previous years was around 760. Each candidate is evaluated individually by the departmental graduate admission and recruiting committee that has the authority to make admission recommendations to the graduate school. Note that the department requires a score of 550 on the TOEFL (213 if computer based) for international students. International students should be in the top 10% of their class.
