The Graduate Division application requests four GPAs. Please go to FAQ to learn the definition of each GPA and to locate GPA calculators.

 

Application Review Process

The admissions committee will apply a holistic review of applicants that includes an examination of undergraduate coursework, science coursework, recency of coursework, employment, volunteer or research experience, letters of recommendation, the personal statement, and an interview.  Complete applications will be reviewed, which includes those that complete all of the required pages on the application, including the Program Page. 

Invitation to Interview

Selected applicants will be invited for an interview. The program director and at least one other individual will conduct brief 20-minute interviews with eligible applicants. Invitations to interview will be sent through email. The program director will provide the applicant with available dates to participate in the interview process. Applicants will have one week from the date of interview notification to accept the invitation to interview. We recommend you prepare and have put together some ideas for you here.

Accepting the Offer of Admission

Students who have been admitted into an entering class are required to take certain steps to secure their admission into the program. The deadline to complete these steps will be provided by the program director following their completed application and interview.
