How are successful candidates selected?
The Admissions Committee reviews each application in full detail. Admissions decisions for our 36 seats are based on a composite of information, including the interview, personal essay, letters of recommendation/referee forms, academic standing, educational preparation, and relevant professional and volunteer activities. Each application is considered in relation to other applications for the upcoming intake. The Committee’s mandate is to create a balanced cohort for the first year class, with candidates from many disciplines and with many strengths to offer their classmates. Because of our limited class size, not every qualified candidate can be admitted.
