Applicants with below 3.0 GPAs may be given provisional admittance to the program if other aspects of their applications are strong. An outstanding record in any area may compensate for poorer performance in another. Students accepted provisionally must achieve a minimum GPA of 3.0 during their first quarter in the program.

Applicants who have a GPA of 2.75 to 2.99 on a 4.0 scale may receive conditional admission. These students must achieve a B or better average in the first 12 graduate credit hours to become matriculated and continue in the program.

If your GPA is 2.75 or higher, you are eligible to be admitted as a regular student. If your GPA is a 2.0 through 2.74, then you may be admitted as a student on probation status. Consultation with your program coordinator and the approval of the graduate dean is required. Removal of the probationary status requires that you receive at least a B in your first two 3-hour classes. Generally, books cost $75-$100/term.

About 300 people apply to the MA program each year. Approximately fifty percent of applicants are admitted.

If your current grade point average is between 2.40 and 2.49 you may appeal to the Teacher Education Program Appeals Committee for permission to take EDUC 302-303, but you must be able to convince the committee that you have to take EDUC 302-303 the next semester in order to complete your program in a timely manner and that you have a plan for obtaining the appropriate GPA. You will not be admitted to student teaching if your cumulative GPA and GPA in your major and/or minor(s) are below 2.5.

The Prerequisites needed include Principles of Biology(an introductory course), Computer Programming(at least one semester equivalent to Georgia Tech's CS 1301), Organic Chemistry(an introductory course), Calculus(one year, equivelent to MATH 1501, 1502), and Physics(one year.) GPAs have ranged betwe en 3.4 - 4.0 for this program but no minimium has been established. The general GRE should be taken with scores at least 1800(Fall '99.)

No. However, NIH investigators will clearly want to select applicants who appear likely to make the greatest research contributions to their laboratories.

If you have not completed the necessary pre-requisite courses, we urge you to contact the academic department before applying.

The last 60 hours GPA cannot be changed unless you complete another degree. Courses may be repeated to improve the pre-requisite course GPA. Courses that are repeated after completion of a degree will not change the GPA for the degree.

While applicants with a variety of academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply, a solid undergraduate performance between 3.0-4.0 is usually a good predictor of the ability to do graduate work. We do look at each candidate as a composite of their academic experiences, professional development, references, commitment to service and ability to express themselves.

Because we are looking for the most outstanding candidates to fill critical need teaching positions, we are looking for people with exemplary academic and professional experience. We will consider the applications of candidates who have a GPA of less than 3.0, if those candidates are able to demonstrate exceptional achievement in other areas. No.

For the professional physical therapy program, we require a GPA of 3.0 in the prerequisite courses and this is also suggested for the nutrition and nursing programs. If you do not have a 3.0, you must retake prerequisite courses before applying to improve the GPA. A 3.0 GPA in graduate study is required for C.A.G.S. programs. [top]

Once your cumulative GPA is again at least 3.0, you are no longer on probation. You should try very hard not to get onto probation in the first place. You should plan on getting a B+ or better in all your courses. If you do end up getting less than a B, make sure that you have another course to make up for it.

The number of students admitted each semester is dependant on the availability of clinical placement. This may change each semester. Typically, we have enough space to admit 14 to 25 students each fall and spring.

GPA is one of several indicators of ability to perform well. Since the students selected will be ''cyber-ambassadors between the U.S. and East Asia'', we will be looking to send individuals who will represent UCSD well. Other indicators of performance are interest level, enthusiasm, the ability to communicate well, and initiative. We have based the 3.0 GPA based on other competitive summer internship programs. There can be extenuating circumstances regarding the GPA, such as a GPA of 3.

The Department does not offer fellowships, scholarships, or teaching assistantships for the program. Pasted below is the URL for the Financial Aid Office. top

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.

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.

Yes, Western will work with you. If you are accepted, you may be placed on probation for the first semester to see how you do academically. Counseling applicants are required to take the MMPI-2, JPI-R, and MIPS. This cost is $60 (very reasonable). The inventories take about 2 1/2 hours to complete and we ask that students complete them in person on campus, via appointment. Arrangements can be made for students who live out of state.
