Admissions

The deadline for completed applications and supporting material is January 1^st for admission in September of the same year.

There is a $60 application fee. If this fee would cause financial hardship, you may submit a request for a fee waiver before you apply. The BME Department will evaluate your request to determine if you qualify for the waiver. Please forward the following information:

1. Your application number (see page 13 of the Online Application)
2. A brief statement explaining why you might qualify for a fee waiver

We will review only your statement. Please do not send any confidential financial documents (including copies of tax returns, bank statements, etc.).

The GRE General Test is required and should be taken in time for the admissions committee to receive score results by the January 1^st deadline.

All foreign applicants whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL and achieve a minimum score of 250 for the computer-based test (CBT), 600 for the paper-based test (PBT), or 100 for the internet-based test (IBT), unless they are graduates of a U.S. undergraduate program.
