1) Calculus
2) Probability/Statistics
3) Basic Linear Algebra

A minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0 is typically required.
For Indian students, this usually translates to a CGPA of 7.5 to 8.0+ out of 10, or 75% and above.
Applicants with higher GPAs (above 8.0 or 80%) will be more competitive for admission.
Typical academic backgrounds of admitted students:
~40% from Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Statistics
~24% from Business or Economics
