well the requirements begin with at least a 3.0. the sooner you get your application in the better. i have heard anywhere from 3.0 to 4.0. i know this doesn't help much, but i don't have an exact answer... it's all about timing, the earlier the better, and strong sciences are a big plus, a necessity. you will have to send in recommendation letters (science professors are recommended). also they will look at your work/academic history. gpa is important but i truly believe they look at everything, your strengths, etc. so, don't give up or beat yourself up over it! :icon_rollfrom what i understand, they usually accept lot a more than what they anticipate for enrollment mostly because it is a private school...

I was wondering the same thing. I applied to the second degree traditional program last night and I have a 3.37. I just need to send over my transcripts and my letter of recommendation. I kind of figured I may have an advantage since my BS degree is in health studies but that may or may not be true. But you never know if you dont try, right? Just send in your app, you have nothing to lose (except $65)!
