<p>Hey all! I’ve been looking into the Industrial & Systems Engineering department at UW, and it looks pretty interesting. With AP credit and whatnot, I would be able to graduate comfortably in 3 years. Based on looking at the website, I have gathered that the Masters program (coursework only) would take 3 quarters or one academic year, as 41 credits are required. How is admission to the Masters program? Would a cumulative GPA of 3.5+ and a great personal statement suffice? Does the program, in fact, take one academic year to complete?</p>
<p>For Upper Division Admission for ISE the average prerequisite GPA for admitted students is around 3.3. If I have above that average and write a good personal statement, should that be enough to gain admission? Also, how do they count prerequisite courses that were completed with AP Credit? Are they omitted from the GPA calculation?</p>
