There's no secret to their program. It's points based.

You have a possible of 25 points.

1 point for every G.E. class you've completed for a total of 10 points.

Then you get points for your science classes based on grades, for a total of an additional 15 points.

5 for an A.
3 for a B.
1 for a C.

For a possible 25 points. To have a good chance of getting in you should have 23 points. That means all your G.E. completed and 2 A's and a B in your sciences.

Yep, I know how it works. But we were told that many people have 25 points when they apply, so not all of them get in.
