Undergraduate/Graduate Grades or Scores
The College of Business requires applicants to have a cumulative grade point average
of 3.0 or higher, or equivalent in undergraduate or graduate studies. If an applicant‘s
cumulative grade point average is below 3.0 in undergraduate or graduate studies,
a separate letter must be included with the application packet. This letter, addressed
to the Graduate Admissions Committee, should be approximately a page in length and
explain the circumstances that contributed to earning grades below the requisite
3.0 GPA.
GMAT/GRE
Your application will be considered complete only after official GMAT or GRE scores
have been received. Within the MBA programs, petitions to waive the GMAT/GRE may
be considered. See the criteria below. Scores must be less than five years old.
The quantitative score is especially significant. If an applicant takes the GMAT/GRE
more than once, only the top score is taken into consideration.
If you have previously taken the GMAT/GRE but have not had your scores reported
to Colorado State, you will need to request that your test results be sent to the
University. The school code is 4075. To make your request, contact:
http://www.mba.com/mba
http://www.gre.org/
If you have not taken the GMAT, register to take the test and have the results sent
to Colorado State University. To register, you may visit www.mba.com/mba or www.gre.org.
GMAT Waiver Petition
An applicant with at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA in undergraduate work (3.0 GPA in
the last 60 hours may be acceptable) and at least 8 years of full-time professional
work experience that shows a progression in responsibility or a graduate studies
degree may petition for a waiver to the GMAT. The GMAT Waiver Form (
pdf version)
must be completed, signed and submitted with your application packet that is mailed
to the College of Business. Please note that one of your three references is required
from an individual who can attest to the content and accuracy of your resume. Please
note the recommendation form has a specific question to be completed by this designated
individual. The petition is subject to the approval of the Graduate Admissions Committee.
