MS Admission Statistics
The admissions committee compares applications to our department based on academic preparation, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, GRE scores, and work experience (if any). We carefully choose our admitted applicants based on the above criteria, and we review our decisions to ensure broad diversity of background and experience in our student population.
The following data represents the academic profile of admitted students. These numbers are not the sole basis of our admissions process. Our diverse student body includes over 200 students from around the world, each with unique qualities that enrich our community.
