91精品

Clinical Program Admission Application Requirements and Information

The 91精品 admits a select number of highly qualified students each year for the fall trimester. Applications submitted on or before January 5 will be notified of their admissions status by April 1. Applications received after the January 5 deadline will be considered on a space-available basis. Such applications will be reviewed as quickly as possible, but a response before April 1 cannot be assured.

The 91精品 expects to receive applications through the online application system. You do not need to complete your application in one sitting. Please read instructions carefully. After your application has been submitted you will not be able to make changes.

Transcripts, reference letters, and other materials will not be returned; once submitted, they become the property of the 91精品.
