The evaluation process for applications is complex. The Admissions Committee takes into account all of the material submitted with the application: Grade point average (GPA), GRE scores, TOEFL (for international students), letters of recommendation, work and/or volunteer experience, and personal statement - where we look for a high level of religious, social and intellectual maturity.
Acceptance to a STM degree program is not guaranteed and is competitive. Therefore estimates of the likelihood of acceptance can not be given to any applicant.
