Grade Point Average (GPA) is only used for studies conducted through academic courses. The courses that are listed on your transcripts from work or life experience will be marked as passed ("P"). If you are transferring credits from another educational institution, we will use the grades listed on your transcript in place of "P". A total GPA can still be calculated based on the graded coursework you have completed.

Each year the admissions committee sets goals for the future entering class. For the Entering Class of 2008, the LSAT 25th percentile goal is 149 and 3.0 GPA. The more competitive candidates will submit an averaged LSAT score that meets the 25th percentile goal or higher. Those who do not meet these goals are generally delayed or denied.

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). See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

The College of Law does not establish a minimum LSAT score or GPA for acceptance, but the LSAT score and GPA are important factors that the Admissions Committee weighs in reaching its admission decisions. See similar questions...

We do not have minimums required for application. But of course the higher your score, the better your chances of admission. Average GPA of admitted applicants is 3.8 (4 point scale). See similar questions...

Here at the University of Southern California we do a comprehensive review of all applications. We do not use a formula or have minimum test score and GPA requirements for admission to USC. In general, successful applicants have demonstrated outstanding quantitative ability and proven academic success in their intended field of study. Additionally, because our medium of instruction is English, students are expected to be able to understand and be understood in English. See similar questions...

A6: I have no idea. There is no way to tell. As I repeat over and over again on the main page, the writing sample is far and away the most important component of an application, and if it's good enough nothing much else will matter. See similar questions...

GPA's and MCAT scores do not offset one another. Both have predictive value for success in medical school, particularly in the first two years, which everyone seems to think are the hardest. Therefore, the Admissions Committee generally prefers students who have both good GPA's and good MCAT scores. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Yes, unless the GMAT score is very low (and note that both the verbal and the quantitative GMAT scores are considered; there should be a balance here). See similar questions...

We do not have minimums required for application. But of course we expect students to have earned a high GPA and GRE scores. The higher your score, the better your chances of admission. See similar questions...

This is a very complicated question, the short answer to which is that your GPA / LSAT data will probably account for 80-90% of your chances of admission at any given school. These things vary by school, of course, and it is obviously artificial to speak in terms of percentages. The point, though, is that your GPA and LSAT score will form the core of your law school application. Most people would say that your grades are slightly more important that your LSAT score.

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. See similar questions...

There is no minimum requirement or absolute "cutoff" for grades, class rank or test scores. USC evaluates prospective students through an individualized, comprehensive review process that takes these, and many other factors, into account. Regardless, we have found that GPA and standardized test scores are powerful predictors of success at USC, so they do play a significant role during our review process. See similar questions...

While the Admissions Committee considers every application seriously, SAT scores below 920 and a GPA below a 2.3 require special consideration. Students with marginal records of achievement may not be invited to come to Principia until these requirements can be met. See similar questions...

No. Many factors are considered in the admissions process. However, you will want to note our average and range of scores in our most recent class profile. We will see all of your scores but will take your higher score if you take the test twice. If you take the GMAT more than twice, we consider all scores, but don’t average them.
