Average undergraduate G.P.A: 3.2 Average age: 24 years old MASTER OF BIOSCIENCE
The primary degree offered by KGI is the professional Master of Bioscience (MBS). The full-time program begins in August, lasts two academic years, and includes a summer internship between the first and second years. Admission is to the fall term only. Admissions: An admission committee of faculty and senior administrators will thoroughly and conscientiously review each application. Applications are considered in the context of the total applicant pool, as well as in relationship to our general admission standards. We do not use grade point or test score cutoffs.
Factors considered during review include colleges or universities attended; undergraduate (and graduate, when applicable) records, including curriculum and grades; standardized test scores; practical experience; career aspirations; leadership potential; a personal statement; and recommendations. All applicants must have received a bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college, or its international equivalent, prior to enrollment. Please visit www.kgi.edu/admissions.xml for additional admissions and deadline information. Academic Preparation: Although a major in the natural/life sciences, pre-med, mathematics, engineering, or computer science is likely to provide the most relevant academic preparation for our program, it is not a prerequisite for admission. However, the demanding and broad reach of technical training at KGI requires a comparable level of requisite knowledge and skills. Some deficiencies in preparation can be addressed during the first year of study. If additional preparation is required, it should be acquired before matriculation. comparable level of requisite knowledge and skills. Some deficiencies in preparation can be addressed during the first year of study. If additional preparation is required, it should be acquired before matriculation. Required Application Materials: - Online application (Personal Statement, Supplemental Essay, and Resume)

Standardized Tests: We require the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test, the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Applicants, who receive their undergraduate degree from a university in a country where English is not the primary or official language, or have studied fewer than two years at a U.S. university or college, must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Financial Aid: KGI offers generous financial aid packages to all admitted students in the form of fellowships, scholarships, and loans. We encourage students to submit an application early in order to receive first consideration for KGI sponsored fellowships and scholarships. Awards are made on the basis of a scholarship interview, academic merit, and the overall promise shown by an applicant. Please visit kgi.edu/admissions.xml for additional information.
