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.

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.

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:

The minimum score our department will accept for the computer based TOEFL is 250 (or equivalent for paper or internet based TOEFL). There are no established minimum requirements for the GPA or GRE. The average GPA of the students that were accepted into our program in recent years was 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale). Typically our students have scored above the 60th percentile on the GRE.

There are no minimum requirements or cut-offs. The admissions committee takes all parts of your application into consideration and reviews it as a whole. On average, entering students have GRE scores in the 80th percentile and GPAs of 3.5 or higher.

Admission to the Ph.D. progarm is based on an overall evaluation of applicants' scores, grades, recommendation letters, as well as potential for scholarship in our program. A general guideline for admission is a minimum score of 1200 on the combined verbal and quantitive GREs.

There is no minimum score. We look very closely at test scores because we have found that to some degree, successful completion of the doctoral coursework and thesis research is highly predicted by strong scores on these tests. However, this is only one of several criteria that determines acceptance into the doctoral program. We also look closely at transcripts to ensure that applicants' skills meet the demands of the program.

There are no 'cut-off' scores for the GRE examination, which is evaluated in the context of your entire application package. The minimum acceptable TOEFL score is 550 (paper-based); 213 (computer-based); and the IBT is still being evaluated in a case-by-case basis. Note: TOEFL scores are required of international students whose native language is not English and whose undergraduate degree was obtained at a non-English speaking university.

There is not a minimum GPA requirement. Our average for the class of 2008 was 3.4. Students who are admitted with a GPA below a 3.0 are admitted on a probationary status and must maintain a 3.0 or higher in the fall semester in order to continue with the program.

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.

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

The LSU Graduate School will accept TOEFL scores no lower than 550 (paper based test), 213 (computer based test), or 79 (Internet based test). NO EXCEPTIONS. Our department prefers scores of at least 620 (pBt), 260 (cBt), or 105 (iBt), but these scores are not required for admission as many factors are evaluated when considering admission of each applicant. The Graduate School does not have a minimum GRE score requirement. It is only required that you take the test.

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.

The Graduate Council requires a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university or foreign equivalent. The minimum GPA is 2.7 out of a possible 4.0 on undergraduate coursework or a 3.0 on a 4-point scale for any graduate work. Other conditions may apply. Refer to the Graduate Catalog for additional information. For international student admission, the minimum GPA is a B average on all academic coursework. A Foreign undergraduate degree must be equivalent to a 4-year U.

Entering students normally are expected to have completed the B.S. degree requirements with at least a 3.0 grade-point average in all coursework taken in the junior and senior years of undergraduate study. Students entering the Ph.D. program are expected to have completed the requirements for the master's degree with at least a 3.25 grade-point average, and to have demonstrated creative ability. Admission to the UCLA Electrical Engineering Department is quite competitive.

Based on past accepted applicants, the median scores fall into the 80th percentile for each section of the general GRE exam. For information on the GRE please visit the official website at www.gre.org.
