What grade point average is needed for admission?
Decisions for admissions are made on a competitive basis, with the applicant’s undergraduate grades factoring into the decision. A minimum 3.0 grade point average (GPA) is required in order to be considered for admission to the program. The average undergraduate GPA for admitted students has historically been 3.5 or higher. The prerequisite courses, particularly the science courses are also considered in the admissions process. The science prerequisite course grades (Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Anatomy, and Physiology) are considered separately as a Science Key GPA. It is desirable for applicants to have a minimum 3.3 GPA in these courses.
