PLEASE NOTE:
It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the application and supporting materials are fully completed and received on or before the closing date. Candidates whose files are not complete will not be considered for admission in that year.
The Admissions Committee will meet after January 7, 2024, to consider all completed application files. Selected applicants will be invited to participate in a virtual interview, scheduled for late March. We have opted to keep our applicant interviews in a virtual format to make them more accessible to all since travel is expensive.
