To apply for the Professional Program, students must complete the following steps:

1. Within the first two semesters after choosing Mechanical Engineering as your major, take ME EN 191 and complete the four required preprofessional courses with as high a grade as possible in each. The courses are listed in the catalog under Professional Program Acceptance. Because of the high demand for this program, admission is determined competitively and is based upon the combined GPA in the four preprofessional courses.
2. Complete the form found below.
3. Turn in the Application to a Professional Undergraduate Program to 435 Crabtree Building, Provo, UT 84602.     
4. Application deadlines are: July 1 (Fall Semester), October 1 (Winter Semester), February 1 (Spring Semester)                             

If you are not admitted to the program on your first attempt, you may retake any of the prerequisite courses one time.  You may reapply to the program as often as you want, but realize that you will run out of courses to take before you will run out of opportunities to apply, so plan accordingly.  You should retake a course immediately.  GPA is calculated based on your first science class (Chem 105, Physics 123 or Physics 220), your first math class (Math 112 or higher), ME EN 172, and CE EN 103.  You must also pass ME EN 191 to apply.  Classes worth more credits weigh more when calculating the GPA.  If you take 2 sciences or 2 maths in the same semester, both grades will be averaged when calculating the GPA.  Here is information based on the past few years of application.

For example, if you receive A's in all of the courses but Chemistry 105, your GPA will not be high enough to get into the program.  You should retake the chemistry and work for a better grade, and then reapply.  One thing to understand with repeating courses is that we use your most current grade in the class.  We do not average the 2 grades, but rather, we look at the most recent repeated grade, whether or not it is higher or lower.
