Program Interviews

Notifications for interviews are going out by email and/or "snail mail" this week. Please read any notices VERY carefully for full information and instructions as appropriate.

There was a larger than normal pool this year of extremely qualified applicants, and all who applied can be proud of what they have accomplished so far. However with a large pool and limited spaces, only some can progress to the next phase of selection, based on the selection process as noted in the FAQ's and admission criteria. Please be aware that we must stick firmly to the selection criteria, and therefore cannot consider outside influences such as unsolicted reference letters, requests for reconsideration based on information unrelated to the application materials, etc. Failure to progress to the next phase of the selection process is based simply on the volume of applicants, and a points system as specified. Please also understand there is a large volume of communication we must do in notifying all of their staus, scheduling interviews, etc while we continue to teach, administer the program, handle clinicals, and do all the other day to day parts of the program. Reading and following the instructions in your notification is essential to avoid unnecessary delays for everyone. Thank you for your understanding.
