Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
- In light of an increased demand for admission to our MS Bioinformatics program, we are implementing a new rolling admissions policy whereby students can be admitted early. Early admission will be extended to exceptionally strong applicants upon receipt of their full applications. An early admission decision by the faculty committee does not entail any additional commitment on the applicant\xc2\x92s part.
- Applicants may be admitted to the program with four-year undergraduate degrees in science, mathematics, computing or engineering. Applicants with 3-year undergraduate degrees should complete a 2-year MS program to be eligible for graduate admission at Georgia Tech.
- Applicants are expected to have taken the general GRE and should have a verbal score in the 60% rank or better (verbal score > 153) and a quantitative score in the 70% rank or better (quantitative score > 158). The analytical writing score is expected to be 3.5 or better.
- Applicants who took the older GREs prior to fall 2011 should have a verbal score of at least 500 and a quantitative score of at least 700 (1200 or better combined).
- GPAs have ranged between 3.3 and 4.0.
