Admission to Carnegie Mellon University is selective and competitive and is based on a holistic review of application materials. An average GPA of 3.6 to 4.0 is required. Typically a 90+ in STEM or related degrees (CS, IT, Engineering, Math, Physics, etc.). Non‑STEM backgrounds (e.g., Commerce, Arts) need strong programming & quantitative coursework (with grades ≥ “B”).
