Category 1: Admissions & Prerequisites
- What is the minimum GPA required for the Master’s or PhD programs?
We generally look for a cumulative GPA of at least $3.7/4.0$ in your undergraduate studies. However, the admissions committee adopts a holistic view; significant field experience or a patent filing can often offset a slightly lower academic score.
- I have a background in Physics, not Engineering. Am I still eligible?
Absolutely. We value "transdisciplinary" thinkers. If your degree is in a related hard science, you may be admitted under a Provisional Status, requiring you to complete three foundational "Bridge Courses" in systems design and material mechanics during your first semester.
- Is the GRE still a requirement for the 2026-2027 cycle?
No. ACE has phased out standard GRE scores in favor of our proprietary Engineering Aptitude Simulation (EAS). This is a 2-hour virtual assessment that tests your real-time problem-solving skills rather than rote memorization.
