We carefully consider each application based on a review of your overall academic record and activities outside the classroom which you will report when you complete the Online Student Profile (our supplemental application). If your first language is not English, we may also require that you provide proof that you have satisfied your English Language Requirement.
Step 1: Review our admission requirements
We consider each applicant on the basis of their overall academic history. Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of the educational system they are following, regardless of their country of citizenship.
Review the Academic Requirements sections to determine your eligibility. Special attention will be given to your grades in the prerequisite courses.
