Middle East Technical University

iso.metu.edu.tr (official) confirms: "METU has a holistic approach to the evaluation of applications... fulfilling these requirements does not guarantee admission." So this is a two-stage process — the SAT/TOEFL/IELTS figures here are the minimum eligibility bar to be considered at all, not a guarantee once met. Exact official minimum-score table lives in a PDF (iso.metu.edu.tr/en/system/files/odtu_iso_requirements.pdf) that could not be fetched directly in this pass — current numbers are still aggregator-sourced, only the holistic-on-top-of-minimums process itself is now officially confirmed.

Official metu.edu.tr (Registrar's Office graduate directive): admission is a weighted composite of ALES (or equivalent GRE/GMAT) score (>=50% of final mark), GPA, English proficiency, references and letter of intent — thresholds set per Graduate School/programme, no single confirmed numeric floor found for GPA or English test at the university level in this pass.

Official metu.edu.tr confirms a Master's degree is generally required (direct Bachelor's-to-PhD possible in some departments), strong academic record and English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) required, but no specific numeric GPA or test-score threshold was found on official pages in this pass — varies by graduate school/department, likely alongside ALES.
