Currently, the average GMAT score is 525. The only exceptions to this is if an applicant has earned a bachelor's degree from a U.S. college or university within the past two years. Work experience is not required. Most students do have some professional experience. The average U.S. student has three years.
International students have a wider range of professional backgrounds.
Entry level, mid career, and career change applicants are all regarded as viable candidates. We require one goal statement in which we ask the students to give a thoughtful, candid analysis of their professional objectives, both long and short term , and indicate how the graduate program to which they are applying will help them to achieve that goal. Newly admitted graduate students are automatically considered for graduate fellowships. Based on academic merit, these awards provide partial of full tuition, and most require a work component, assisting a faculty member 8 to 16 hours a week. Students interested in these awards should apply by March 15.
