Application Process
Freshmen Applications
Admission to George Mason University is competitive, and successful candidates generally have a B+ average or higher in a challenging college preparatory curriculum.

Students transferring from another institution must provide documentation of successful completion of all ATEP-related course work with a grade of C or higher, a cumulative within-major GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, and related clinical education/experiences. Additional documentation includes transcripts, course syllabi, a letter from the ATEP director of the previous institution certifying satisfactory completion of all clinical experiences, completed proficiency assessments signed and dated by an approved clinical instructor attained at the previous institution, and current Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC) and First Aid certifications.
