Admission Selection:

• The admissions committee has the responsibility of selecting from among the applicants those individuals who have the highest levels of professional and academic achievement, and a demonstrated promise to successfully complete the program. The number of applicants is expected to exceed the number of available spaces and therefore not all qualified candidates will be selected for an interview or offered admission.
• Applicants are ranked on academic achievement, professional experience, cover letter, letters of reference and a personal interview.
