*This is the mean GPA of the last 60 credits of those who were offered admission from this cohort.

**This number represents an undercount because in Hawaiʻi, licensure applications cannot be submitted until all of the 3000 post-master’s hours are accrued. By law, the time to accrue 3000 hours cannot take less than 2 years. Also, the applicant is not allowed to take the National Counselor Exam until these 3000 hours are accrued, and the application is received and processed. After the NCE score is returned, the licensure decision is made.
