The program profile
Each axis is rated 1 to 5 and shows how strong that aspect is in the program. Use it to compare programs at a glance.
- Quantitative5/5
- Theoretical3/5
- International4/5
- Creative3/5
- Hands-on4/5
Scale 1–10. Estimated range (non-official) based on application/seats ratio, average admission test score, number of seats (~230/year) and program prestige. 10 = extremely selective (e.g. BAI, WBB).
