  • (300 x GPA*) + GRE Verbal + GRE Quantitative + GRE Analytical Writing** = 2500 minimum points
    * Calculated using overall undergraduate GPA or last 60 hours GPA, whichever is higher
    ** Analytical Writing Conversion:

    1.0 = 300	2.5 = 320	4.0 = 460	5.5 = 700
    1.5 = 300	3.0 = 350	4.5 = 540	6.0 = 760
    2.0 = 300	3.5 = 400	5.0 = 620

    
    For example: A student with a 3.2 overall GPA scores 500 GREV, 500 GREQ and a 4.0 GREAW.
    (300 x 3.2) + 500 + 500 + 460 = 2420 (This student most likely would not be interviewed.)
