Selection Committee
The Selection Committee conducts a personal interview with each applicant. The focus is on the
applicant’s reasons for pursuing the program of study. The committee consists of the Program
Director of the school and one or two other panel members who may be faculty members of
BHCLR Schools of Nursing and Allied Health or clinical faculty from one of the clinical sites.
The interview completes the application process.
Selection Process
The Selection Committee reviews each applicant file for entry to the school after the file is
complete. Selection for entry is on a competitive basis, with consideration given to overall GPA,
science GPA, ACT scores and the results of the formal interview itself, as each entering class is
limited in number. The committee formulates a recommendation for each applicant and forwards
it to the Program Director for final action. The applicant is 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, may 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. The alternate should contact the Program Director before the March 1st deadline of the
following year and request that the file be reactivated. If the time since 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 registration 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 next class to enter.
Credit by Examination
Not available.
