Eligibility:

Applicants eligible for consideration under the above guidelines are not guaranteed an offer of admission. It must be recognized that staff, facilities and resources are limited. As a result, offers of admission may be limited to only the most qualified of the eligible applicants as determined by the CBA Graduate Admissions Committee. The average GMAT score and four-year GPA for those admitted is 588 and 3.30 respectively. Applicants are expected to score above 500 on the GMAT for an offer of admission to be extended. The Graduate Admissions Committee also considers other variables such as: the difficulty of the applicant’s undergraduate program; the percentile ranking on the GMAT; and the length of time and number of activities since graduation.

Applicants who have taken the GMAT but do not meet the above minimums may be considered for admission and those who have been denied admission may request reconsideration by submitting a written appeal to the Graduate Admissions Committee demonstrating the likelihood of “high promise of success.”
