How strict is the required 3.0 GPA for admission purposes?
The HCDE admissions committee takes all application materials into consideration. If your undergraduate GPA is below the required 3.0, then the admissions committee will look at your other admission materials for evidence of success in our graduate program. If the HCDE admissions committee wants to admit an applicant with a GPA below 3.0, then they must petition the UW Graduate School.
