Selection Process
The Selection Committee considers and interviews each applicant for selection to enter the
school after all required materials are received. Each applicant is ranked according to
qualifications with the highest qualified being number one. The process is continued until the
class is filled. Selection for admission is on a competitive basis, as the entering class is limited to
eight (8) students. The committee formulates a recommendation for each applicant and forwards
it to the Program Director for final action. The final selection decision is made by the Program
Director. An applicant may be given alternate status and notified if a position in the class
becomes available. Applicants are notified by letter of the committee’s decision.

Selected applicants are expected to notify the school of intent to register by returning the form
enclosed with the acceptance letter prior to the registration date. Selected applicants not
registering, who seek admission at a later date, have no preferential status and are reconsidered
for selection at the same time as new applicants for the next entering class
Alternate status does not guarantee the applicant a position in any future class. Any applicant
who is not selected and intends to re-apply must keep the application file active by submitting a
new application by the April 15 deadline of the next year.
