Next Steps

All applicants meeting the minimum criteria will have their files evaluated. Due to the large number of candidates that apply for admission each year, only the most qualified applicants will be invited for an interview. During the interview day, applicants will receive an introduction to the school, its curriculum and information on student services, academic counseling and financial aid. In addition, each candidate will have his or her application file reviewed for completeness, be interviewed by faculty, asked to complete a writing sample, take a math assessment, and given a tour of the campus and the School’s facilities. Ample opportunities will exist to ask questions about the program, the University, and the local area.
