How to apply
Entry requirements for Northwestern University
Competitive applications feature GPA's above 3.5 and TOEFL or IELTS scores better than 100 or 7.5, respectively. We accept a three-year degree on a case-by-case basis. We value the ability to think critically and creatively (i.e., solve problems). Demonstrating these skills will increase your chances of being admitted. We do not have one. We look at the application holistically. Extensive work experience, or strong post-graduate academic performance can offset weakness in the undergraduate GPA.
