However, to answer the question, applicants can surely get into the university with a GPA of 4 and DET 125, as these are considered good. However, the university maintains a holistic review process that includes many academic and non-academic indicators. It seeks to enrol a diverse and talented class each year, and thus, the review procedures incorporate a variety of factors, including many kinds of academic records.
