Due to the high volume of applications, individual messages to confirm receipt of applications will not be possible.

NOTE ABOUT APPLICATION: While you can go back and edit your responses (keep a copy of our confirmation email after you submit), applications are processed on a rolling basis and will not be revisited after our initial review. We, therefore, recommend that you complete the application in a single sitting. However, if you are unable to complete the application in one attempt, we suggest signing your name as "INCOMPLETE" in the "Certification" section (at the end of the application) and returning to it at a later date. Please remember to change this when your application is ready for review, or else it will not be considered. Please do not submit more than one application per semester.
