PREREQUISITES FOR ADMISSION
Applicants must have a bachelor of arts degree (or equivalent), and a
minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0 (B) overall (4.0 scale), and a 3.0
GPA in science courses. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) General Test is
required. Applicants with a weak science background, but an otherwise
strong application, may be requested to take the GRE Advanced Biology
examination.
It is recommended that applicants have a strong science background, with
an undergraduate major in the biological sciences, chemistry, physics or
engineering. It is recommended that the applicant already have completed
courses in cell biology, developmental biology, molecular biology,
general and organic chemistry, physics and calculus. Performance in
these courses will be assessed as a factor in the application review
process. In addition, bench research experience and a publication record
in the sciences will likely have a strong positive influence on Graduate
Committee deliberations. Applicants must be prepared to correct
deficiencies during the first year of graduate study
