Selection for entry is on a competitive basis, as opposed to a first come first serve basis, and each
qualifying applicant is ranked according to his/her total percent score as identified on the
Applicant Rating Form which is derived from an applicant’s qualifications. Selection of qualified
applicants occurs during the term prior to the beginning class deadline and progresses until the
respective class has reached its maximum capacity.

Applicants are selected for admission based on the total percent score as compared to a
predetermined qualifying score. Selected applicants are notified by mail and are required to
submit a registration fee by a predetermined date to reserve a slot in the class.

Those applicants that meet criteria but are not selected are placed on an alternate list by
qualifying rank. The number or rank is assigned through a process of “highest qualifying
alternate” as a number one (1) and so forth. Applicants on the alternate list are notified of their
status by mail. Alternates may choose to remain on the alternate list or may choose to retest the
TEAS, at their own expense, in an attempt to improve their TEAS score and thus potentially
improve their ranking. Alternates that are not selected do not receive preferential treatment for
selection into future classes.

Alternate status does not guarantee the alternate a future position in the next entering class or any
future class. The individual must contact the Admissions Office and request that their file be kept
active for future classes. If time since the last inquiry is greater than one calendar year, the
individual must update the file as requested by the school.

Incomplete applicant files are not reviewed for selection, and are not “carried over” to the
upcoming applicant pool. If the time since last applicant communication is greater than one (1)
calendar year from current January 1, the applicant file is considered on “inactive” status and is
maintained according to BHCLR Applicant Record Policy.
