WHAT ARE THE GPA, GRE, AND TOEFL REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION?
OSU requires a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale) in all previous undergraduate and graduate work for regular admission to graduate school. We require the GRE General Test; we do not require any of the GRE Subject Tests. We do not have a minimum score requirement for the GRE. For international students who are required to take the TOEFL, we require at least a 600 on the paper-based TOEFL (250 on the CBT, 100 on the iBT). When making TA offers, we look for TOEFL scores that are much higher than these departmental minimums. There are additional specific requirements for GPA and GRE for students to be nominated in the University Fellowship competition. These include the following: • A minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.6 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent on another numerical scale, such as 4.5 on a 5.0 scale, 5.4 on a 6.0 scale, etc.); or First Class rank in a British-based grading system; or overall percentage of at least 88% for percentage graded systems. • An avera
