The weight given to standardized admissions exams varies from program to program and discipline to discipline. If your exam score is not reflective of your academic accomplishments and capabilities, it is often a good idea to ask one of your faculty recommenders to address it in the letter. This can be particularly effective if you have taken advanced courses or done independent study with that professor.

The Women’s Studies Program does not have a set minimum GRE or GPA. Average scores of those admitted vary by joint program, but the average ranges are:

Since UNCC students are no longer allowed to exclude credit, your only option in this situation is to take additional courses to raise your GPA. How many classes and the grades you will need to achieve will depend upon your particular circumstances. Because raising your GPA can be difficult and time consuming, IT IS BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT GET INTO THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. OBVIOUS ADVICE, BUT IMPORTANT.

What we are most interested in is the applicant's research potential. These scores are just one of many criteria we consider. There are no minimum scores. We much prefer students who have taken challenging advanced courses to those with top scores on rudimentary courses. There are many ways for applicants to demonstrate their research potential.

We normally tell students they should be in the B+ range to be competitive. The admission process incorporates 1) overall GPA; 2) prerequisite GPA; and 3) GRE score. Each of these areas is weighted equally. Thereby, the applicant could remain in the competitive range if they were low in one area i.e. overall GPA and up in the other two. Historically, applicants with GRE scores below 900 are not competitive.

Your junior/senior major GPA should be above a 3.0; however, if there are extenuating circumstances for a lower GPA, you may still be considered for admission. Please address those issues in your personal statement. The GREs are only one of the factors we consider, so again, if there are extenuating circumstances, use your personal statement to address this issue.

The GRE scores and GPA are very important to gain admission to the ESPM graduate program. The average GRE scores for those we accepted in the program for Fall 2005 were: Verbal: 625/84%, Quantitative: 698/73%, and Analytical: 5.10 or 701/83%. The average GPA for those accepted was 3.60. The GPA is based on undergraduate course work done in the last two years, i.e. junior and senior status.

There are no minimum cut-off scores but admitted students are likely to have scores similar to other competitive programs in Rackham.

Usually, no, if your GPA is your only concern. When you retake a class at UMass, the Registrar's office recalculates your GPA to omit reference to your first grade. Law schools and the LSAC do not. They include every grade on your transcript in calculating your GPA. For students who retake classes, this often means that your LSAC-generated GPA is less than your UMass-generated GPA. Moreover, the law schools will look at your entire transcript, not just you GPA.

You need to be aware of a sobering reality: admission to a health professions school is a highly competitive process. This means, of course, that these schools will draw candidates from the high end of the GPA range. Consider these statistics. The most common GPA for applicants admitted to medical schools nationwide, for example, is 3.75. At Upstate Medical University, the median overall GPA for accepted applicants is around 3.65 (3.57 for the science GPA).

Admission to MCLS is highly competitive. However, every application is treated on a case-by-case basis. Thus, great strengths in certain areas may outweigh relative weaknesses in others. Since there is no fee required in the initial application process, we encourage all motivated and qualified students to initiate the application process.

In general, we look for at least a B undergraduate average, but the overall record is of primary importance. Individual programs may be interested in how an applicant did in specific courses, whether the undergraduate background course work was adequate for the program, and whether the applicant showed a pattern of improvement during undergraduate study. There is no specific cut-off for the GRE.

On the GRE, the minimum score required by the Graduate School is 850 (combined verbal and quantitative). The minimum undergraduate GPA required by the Graduate School is 2.6. The average GRE score for a Community Counseling graduate student is approximately 1100 and the average GPA is 3.5. With that said, a deficit in one area can be compensated by strength in another area.

No. All applications are reviewed by at least one faculty member regardless of how low or high you score on the GRE or your GPA.

First we look at the applications on their individual merit. We look at all of the materials and try to arrive at an accurate portrait of the applicant that includes experience, the breadth of previous coursework and recommendations. We do see scores and GPAs in all ranges. In general, however, competitive GRE scores will be in the 600s for the verbal section, in the 600s for the quantitative section, and 5 or above (on a 6-point scale) for the writing section. Competitive GPAs will be 3.

No. Each file is looked at as a whole, and the overall best applicants are admitted, so we do not have a cut-off point for scores or GPAs.

While we do require GRE and TOEFL scores for admissions consideration, we do not establish a minimum profile in terms of GRE, TOEFL, or GPA. Your application is examined as a whole.

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) score is required for applicants to many graduate-level programs in the United States and at international universities. The GRE includes the General Test, composed of verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections, and Subject Tests on specific academic fields. Some universities require only the General Test while others will request applicants to take Subject Tests related to their planned area of study.

While a 3.0 GPA is considered minimum for application, the average GPA of recent classes has been between 3.6-3.7. Many students are discouraged from considering PT school based on such information but should recall that this is only an average and reflects scores both higher and lower. 3.0 reflects a typical graduate standard. Students at or below this may have difficulty completing the rigor of graduate school courses.

The minimum GPA requirement is a 2.5 for all Florence, all Paris programs, and the University of Barcelona. Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona) requires students to have 3.0 GPA. All London programs have a minimum requirement of a 2.7 GPA.
