Middle-of-the-pack GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.64) is close to the national middle, so a solid-but-not-spectacular academic record is genuinely competitive here.
The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.64 — a gap of 0.64. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.
Residency matters — Out-of-state tuition ($174,116) runs 53% above in-state. If you can establish residency, this program gets substantially cheaper.
