The size and composition of the Manship School applicant pool each semester sometimes allows consideration of students whose GPA is below but near the 3.00 GPA level. Therefore, students who feel that they might otherwise qualify for Manship School admission but whose GPA falls below 3.00 are nonetheless encouraged to consider applying for admission.
