• You must use Listening and Spoken Language as your primary communication mode. 

• You must be enrolled in or planning to attend a mainstream university and working toward a four-year undergraduate degree or a graduate degree.

Things to Prepare: 

• If you use hearing aids, include an unaided audiogram dated no earlier than March 1, 2020. Use this to calculate your Pure Tone Average (PTA), which must be 55dB or higher. The formula is in the application.

Transcripts: 

• High school: Showing grades 9-11 and the first semester of senior year. 

• College freshman: Include high school transcript and first semester of your freshman year.

• Unweighted GPA:  

• US: 3.25 or higher. 

• Outside the US: See application for international grade conversion.

Recommenders Information: 

• Name, Address and Email for three recommenders. 

• You’ll need the name, telephone number and email address of your three recommenders. It’s important that you provide this information early to give your recommenders time to write and upload their letters.
