Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Entry requirements
Applications for admission are evaluated by the graduate committee on the basis of criteria reflecting academic quality and probable success in advanced study. These criteria are:
- undergraduate and (where applicable) graduate grades
- GRE exam scores
- letters of recommendation
- a statement outlining past accomplishments, professional objectives, special interests, and educational plans
Superior grades and exam scores are, of course, important for admission. However, cases exist where students not having the highest grades were admitted partly on the basis of strong letters of recommendation clearly indicating superior ability and dedication in undergraduate research. It is advantageous to request letters from individuals who have significant knowledge of your abilities-for instance, professors who have taught you in more than one course or with whom you have carried out an independent study project or research. You should give these individuals as much lead time as possible so that they will not be not rushed and will be able to write detailed and thoughtful letters about you.
GRE/GPA
The graduate admission committee makes all admissions decisions. An evaluation of the applicant\'s academic qualifications is the only basis for admission. These evaluations are based on the applicant\'s academic record, GRE scores, personal statement, and letters of recommendation, not on specific scores alone. The criteria for evaluation varies each year depending on the pool of applicants.
There is no minimum GRE score required to apply for admission. You can submit your test scores to Institution Code 2925, Department Code 1603.
The Graduate School suggests GPA equivalent to 3.0/4.0 for PhD and 3.0/4.0 for Master\'s. However, the department admission committee\'s criteria can be different and varies from year to year.
All minimums are suggested by the Graduate School; the Department of Biomedical Engineering may set higher criteria as appropriate.
