No. The entrance examination is an integral part of the admission process; however it is but one of several considerations in determining eligibility into our program. We thoroughly review all application materials, including the personal statement. We also review official school transcripts and note academic performance. In addition, our admission committee will interview only the top 40 scorers on the entrance exam who attain a 75 percent or higher overall average and a 75 percent or higher on the math and English sections. We review your entrance examination writing sample as well in making our student selection.
