All applicants are admitted as long as the candidate:

1. is currently attending one of our affiliations schools
2. completes all of the course requirements for admission and achieves a 3.25 GPA or above (overall and math/science)
3. is endorsed by their current institution certifying aptitude for engineering study and the completion of a bachelor's level, non-engineering degree at the current institution no later than receipt of the engineering degree from WashU

The only reason a student would not be accepted after meeting the above requirements is if they had an anomaly on their record such as a felony or a severe academic integrity violation, for example.
