Selection Process
The selection committee reviews each qualified applicant file for entry to the school after the file
is complete. Selection for entry is on a competitive basis, as each entering class is limited in
number. The committee formulates a recommendation for each applicant for final action. At the
end of the process the applicant will be notified of the decision.

The process of selection includes a review of the completed applicant file and the personal
interview score(s). Each applicant is ranked according to qualifications, with the highest
qualified being number one. The process is continued until the class is filled. Qualified
applicants not included in the selected class number, can be placed on the alternate list.

The highest qualified alternate is ranked number one (1) and so on. Alternates are notified by
rank number if space becomes available in the class. Alternates are strongly encouraged to keep
their file active by contacting the Program Director, and obtaining academic advice. Alternate
status does not guarantee the applicant a future position in the next entering class or any future
class. Any student not accepted in the Program should contact the Program Director before the
March 1 deadline of the next school year and request that the file be kept active. If the time since
the last inquiry is greater than one calendar year, the individual must update the file as requested
by the school.

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