Admissions decisions are based, in large measure, on information derived from three sources:

  • Performance in all prior degree programs (earned GPA, field(s), institution(s))
  • GRE scores, especially the quantitative and analytical portions.
  • Credible letters of reference.

Note: Applicants interested in the ACO Program are encouraged to submit scores for the mathematics subject test.

To give you an idea of the level of competition, we provide below some statistics relative to admitted applicants for the prior year. Note that the data reflects only a profile and are not intended to suggest strict "cut-offs." That said, you may want to examine the figures carefully in order to form a realistic assessment of your chances of being admitted to one of our graduate programs.
