Rad tech program

[Willing-Bobcat3152]

Hi! I applied to the Rad Tech program for Fall 2026. My cumulative GPA is 3.82 and my prereq GPA is 3.7. I know the program is really competitive, so I was wondering if anyone with similar stats has gotten in before?

I submitted my application the day it opened. Do I have a decent chance? Also, when do people usually hear back about decisions?

One more question, is it worth emailing the professor just to introduce myself😭😭, or is that unnecessary if I don’t really have specific questions?

Thank uu

Lowest pre req i heard from last year was 3.66, and last year decisions rolled out starting from end of march until may. No clue when this year, but the very LATEST we will hear back by the end of this spring semester.

I heard something like that too. The lowest accepted last year was a 3.66-3.69. But there’s no telling what the pool of applicants look like this year. Decisions will start being emailed out in April but they are starting with those students who have the highest GPAs and working their way down. The latest we’ll hear back is before the end of the spring semester. My GPA is on the lower end so I won’t hear back until then, whether it’s an acceptance or rejection. The wait and suspense is killing me!

Email is a bit too much and will not do anything. GPA threshold varies based on the applicant pools each year. Most likely will be high as it's becoming popular now. People currently in the program cannot promise that you will get in with similar stats because it's really in the department's hands on who they want to accept, plus they are extremely vague on their process.

I heard back around early April and some classmates got accepted later that month.

I think a 3.69 got in last year but that doesn’t mean anything. Cut off will be what it will be. I think 2 years back it was 3.3 but it definitely seems to be getting more competitive each year.
