Selection Committee
The Selection Committee considers the applicant for entry after all required materials and
requested information are received. Selection is on an individual and competitive basis as class
size is limited to eighteen (18) students. The committee formulates and forwards a
recommendation for each applicant to the Program Director for final action. The applicant is
notified by U.S. Mail of the final action. Conditional selection may be assigned by the committee
with stipulations. Selected applicants are expected to return the Intent to Register Form upon
receipt of selection for entry letter.

Selection Process
The process of selection includes review of the completed applicant file and the personal
interview score(s). Applicants are ranked academically and the top applicants are invited to
interview. Each applicant is ranked according to qualifications, with the highest qualified being
number one. The process is continued until the class is filled. The final selection decision is
made by the Program Director. Qualified applicants not selected for entry are placed on an
alternate list. The highest qualified alternate is ranked number one (1). Alternates are notified by
rank number if space becomes available. Alternates are strongly encouraged to keep their files
active by contacting the Program Director and obtaining academic advice. Alternate status does
not guarantee the alternate a future position in the next entering class or any future class.
Applicants not selected for entry (including alternates) must reapply to be considered for next
year’s entering class.

Applicants selected for entry are expected to notify the school of intent to register by returning a
special form to the school prior to registration date. Selected applicants not registering, who seek
admission at a later date, have no preferential status and shall be reconsidered for selection at the
same time as new applicants for the next entering year.

Arkansas - Pulaski Technical College.
