    • Note: To be considered for an application fee waiver using your cumulative GPA, you must have a GPA that is on a 4.0 scale. We do not accept self-translated GPA’s from candidates, however should candidates have their GPA’s officially accessed and translated by a credential evaluation service to a 4.0 scale, we can then accept a GPA official translation.
