Applicants whose grade point average is 2.5 or below on the last 60 credits must submit official Graduate Record Examination or Miller Analogies Test scores. Applicants whose records meet one or more of the following criteria may elect to submit official Graduate Record Examination or Miller Analogies Test scores to the Admissions Committee:

• Applicants whose undergraduate work was completed outside of the United States.

• Applicants who attended an undergraduate institution that used a nontraditional grading scale.

• Applicants who have earned a substantial number of credits on a pass/fail basis.

• Applicants whose grade point average on the last 60 hours of academic work leading to the award of the bachelor’s degree is below a 3.0 (excluding grades for field instruction, if applicable).

• Applicants who feel, for any reason, that their formal academic record is not an accurate, or the best, predictor of their ability to succeed in graduate school.

Note:    Test scores are considered only if they enhance the academic performance rating. You must allow sufficient time for the exam to be graded and for an official score report to be received by the deadline. Score reports must be sent directly from the testing agency to the School of Social Work. For more information about these tests, write or call:
