Admissions decisions are made on the basis of a holistic review, taking into consideration each applicant’s supplemental application, GPA, standardized test scores, clinical experience, personal statement, references, and interview score (both group and individual). In addition, applicants are also evaluated on a variety of non-cognitive factors including leadership, volunteerism, diversity of life experience, success in overcoming adversity, and aptitude for inquiry-based learning. We give consideration to candidates who are first-generation college students, active-duty military or veterans, and those who are economically disadvantaged. A competitive candidate will demonstrate a mix of these academic and non-cognitive factors.
While we do not have a minimum GPA or GRE, if your academic performance is significantly lower than those of average matriculants based on our class profiles you may choose to work to improve these scores in order to be more competitive, considering the academic rigors of the program.
