Please allow sufficient time for scores to reach us. All application materials and supporting documents must be received by the Office of Admissions on or before the appropriate application deadline. Be sure to give your recommenders plenty of advance notice. No, we do not have any sample portfolios. Interviews are not required, although you are welcome and encouraged to visit the school.
Test scores are one more tool by which to evaluate an applicant.
Keep in mind that the committee is also looking closely at your transcripts, recommendations, essay, resume, and portfolio. Although successful applicants normally have at least a 3.0 or above for the GPA and we prefer 600 above for each of the three sections of the GRE, we encourage you to apply whether or not you meet these guidelines. Keep in mind that all components of the application are taken into consideration. You need to submit a separate application form and fee for each program. International students in the Doctor of Design program are eligible to apply for GSD grants.
