• In order to be eligible for selection, a student must apply and attend a mandatory in-person orientation.

• If there becomes a waitlist and more than 30 students attend the mandatory orientation and any of the first 30 students who were conditionally accepted, in the order they applied, defer, students who attend the mandatory orientation, outside of the first 30 applicants, and who meet the proper criteria for acceptance, will be entered into a computer-generated random selection process to take place of one of the 30 available spots.

• If a student is not selected, they can be added to an alternate waitlist for the following semester.

This process is subject to change without notice.

Currently there is a waitlist. This is subject to change each semester.
