* GPA’s above are averages, not minimums. GPA data is a record of historical data and does not necessarily apply to future application cycles (i.e. sophomore admission). As a reminder, GPA is not the only factor considered by the Admissions Committee. Because we are currently at full capacity for enrollment, spaces for admission depend on the number of students who graduate in previous semesters.
