Admission Requirements

  1. Transcripts

    Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an institution accredited by the Hebrew University, with a GPA of 3.2 or above, or the equivalent on an Israeli scale (82 or above).

    • Our Admissions Committee calculates the Israeli equivalent of GPAs from all over the world.
    • You must submit transcripts and diplomas from all undergraduate and graduate academic institutions you have attended.
    • You may upload an "unofficial" or student copy of your transcript; however, you will be required to bring an official copy, for verification purposes, upon arrival in Jerusalem.

  2. GMAT/GRE

    • We look only at the quantitative GMAT or GRE score.
    • We do not have a bias toward one test or the other – either is acceptable.

    The minimum required GMAT or GRE score depends on your GPA:

    Your GMAT quantitative score and your GPA in Israeli terms must add up to at least 130.

    For example, if your GPA in Israeli terms is a 88, then you need at least a 42 on the quantitative section of the GMAT.
