Common Questions

Admissions FAQ

Is there a minimum GPA requirement?

We do not impose a strict minimum GPA. Admissions decisions are holistic, considering academic performance alongside professional experience, motivation, and interview performance. Strong candidates typically have above-average academic records.

Can I apply without an English test score?

Native English speakers and candidates who completed their previous degree entirely in English may be exempt. For MBA candidates with extensive English-language work experience, waivers are considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact admissions for guidance.

How long does the admissions process take?

Most applicants receive a decision within 2–3 weeks of completing their interview. Early admissions candidates receive priority processing, typically within 10 business days.

Can I defer my admission?

Yes. Admitted candidates may request a deferral of up to one academic year. Deferrals must be requested before the enrollment deposit deadline and are granted at the discretion of the admissions committee.

Do you accept transfer students?

Transfer applications are considered for Bachelor programs on a case-by-case basis. Credit transfer is evaluated based on the equivalence of courses completed at the previous institution. Contact admissions for a preliminary assessment.
