How We Choose Students for GST

To find those students have the most to give and thus are likely to get the most from GST we want to know: Can they do the work and will they do the work? To answer these questions we use

• GPA. (GST students have at least a 3.2 GPA and are qualified for college math and composition by being exempt from - by high enough ACT or SAT scores - or by having passed the EPT and ELM.)
  
  
• Application essays.
  
  
• Conversations in person or a phone interview.
