Admission Process

 

After the review of applications each student will be offered conditional admission, placed on the alternate list, or denied admission. Alternates will be offered conditional admission as positions on the conditional admission list become available. Additional information regarding the mandatory meeting will be contained in the letter sent from the Admissions Office notifying students of initial program admission status. All students, including those on the alternate list, will be required to attend one of the mandatory meetings to receive program specific paperwork and hear the discussions that take place. Students who do not attend a mandatory meeting will not be given the paperwork and fill forfeit their position on the admission list.
