Frequently Asked Questions About Minimum Eligibility Requirements

Should I still apply if my grade point average is just above the minimum of 2.80?

This includes your science grades, curriculum, recommendations, essays, and interview results. Competition also varies from year to year depending upon the size and strength of the applicant pool. You should consider all of these factors and should not base your decision to apply solely on your GPA. -
