I am entering the 2nd year of this program and I am the student liason. I created this forum so it could be shared with newly admitted students when acceptance letters go out later this month. Good luck!

Hi Chelse123, do you have the list of Textbooks required for the course?

Thanks.

Hi Folks!

I'd like to share an update on our admissions process:

As applicants respond to their offers, we are steadily filling the class. At this time, 32 of the 43 available spots have been accepted — so we are making good progress, but the process is still ongoing.

Please remember that not all applicants accept their offers, and we continue moving down the list until all seats are filled. Additionally, some students may later withdraw due to changing circumstances or offers from other programs. Once the list has progressed to a certain point (smallest possible!), we will hold a lottery to admit four additional students.

We've also begun emailing applicants with the total point score their application received. This email will include instructions on how to appeal your score if you believe there has been an error. Our administrative assistant is beginning with those at the top of the list and working her way through — this may take some time. If you haven't heard yet, it likely means your application is further down the list.

We hope this information helps guide your next steps — whether that's strengthening your application for next year or making a decision about another program. We appreciate your patience!

Hi Denise! The required textbooks will be provided once you are registered for classes. Many of the classes have an online assignment component with the textbooks that require specific access codes from each course. There is a flexweek before classes start in the fall and all the textbooks and access codes are provided at that time. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for the update, by any chance are you able to say what number your currently on based on the point system? I believe I have a low score. Whats the lowest you have gotten to in the past? Thank you if you are able to share that info.

Dr. Bright,

May I ask you if there is any update on the applications?

How many have been accepted? Are there any available spots left?

Are the emails with the application score still being sent to the applicants?

The information would be appreciated it.

Kind regards.

Hello Everyone,

We've just sent out another round of acceptance emails. Please check your inbox! If you received one, you'll have 72 hours to let us know whether you accept your spot in the program.

This round, we used a random number generator to select four students through our lottery process.

Please keep in mind that some students may decide to decline their offers. If that happens, we will either move to the next person on the list or run the lottery again, depending on the circumstances.

We appreciate your patience and enthusiasm throughout this process—thank you for your continued interest in the program!

Warmly,

Dr. Alicia Bright

Hi Dr. Bright!

 

Thank you for being so informative and open about the process. This is extremely useful and kind of you! I was told you were on number 81 for merit-based applicants before this most recent round went out today, and I am wondering what number you got down to. Unless, you only had four spots remaining and all of those went to lottery applicants? I am also wondering if the class registration saying that 23 out of 43 spots currently filled is accurate. I hope to hear back from you soon!

 

Thank you so much!

Hello Again!

We are still inviting applicants who scored 81. We had two people get right back to us this morning to decline and so we sent out more invitations.

On Monday we will see who has gotten back to us to accept or decline and send out another round, if we still have seats.

Happy 4th of July Weekend!
