  • No. You can submit materials during the online application process, or after you’ve completed the application by logging into the Portal and linking your files. Your recommendation(s) and mailed materials (test scores, transcripts) can also come at different dates. Applicants will receive emailed status updates on the items needed to complete their applications.

  • We pride ourselves on a holistic application review process. This means that we look at each applicant as an individual and review your test scores and GPA alongside your other materials to get a full picture of your academic and personal background and determine your fit at KGI. Therefore, we do not have minimum requirements or cutoffs.

  • KGI does not typically accept transfer credit due to the unique nature of our courses. However, contact your admissions counselors for questions about specific courses.
