What are the average GPA and GRE scores of students in the program?
Good question, especially for academic units that heavily emphasize GPA and GRE scores as primary in the admission review process. However, in this academic unit, program faculty have found that GPA, GRE scores, AND other required components of the application materials (i.e., professional narrative, research, teaching, and leadership experiences, values) have also been found to significantly predict success. Readers are cautioned about making a decision about applying based solely on GPA and GRE scores given the ranges found within each student cohort. Consequently, there have been cases where some applicants with extraordinarily high GPAs and GRE scores have not been admitted and those with more modest status have.
