Why the change in policy?
The University determined that the margin of difference in the grade point average recalculation is not significant enough to continue to sustain the effort. The time that can be saved by eliminating this step can be better utilized to focus on the review of applications and recruitment of students.
(Freshman Only) Will the grade point average be computed using six semesters (through junior year) or include seventh semester grades if they are available?
The grade point average will include all course work that is posted on the high school transcript at the time the student makes application.
I’ve already applied. How is my file being evaluated.
We have identified the files that have already been processed and are evaluating the applications utilizing the cumulative grade point average posted to the high school record before a final decision will be processed.
(Freshman only) Will we use the weighted or unweighted grade point average?
We will utilize the cumulative weighted grade point average if it is provided on the transcript.
