Just thought I'd chime in on this thread since I stumbled across this site and saw "NVCP" in the discussion. I am currently one of the faculty members employed by NVCP. While I have no administrative role in admissions, I have participated in student interviews over the last 3 years and the faculty are involved in admission decisions.
Application materials usually become available in early Fall (September/October at the latest). We have interviewed as early as December but this past year we started in mid January.
For those of you who have already interviewed, if you are ON the waiting list, you do still have a chance of getting in. We enroll students from the waiting list every year; how many students really depends on a lot of factors. We interviewed > 200 students but got applications from > 1000 students. This is the most competitive year we have had EVER.
The post that mentioned something about transcripts...If you are on the waiting list, get your transcript sent to the college IMMEDIATELY. It may affect whether you get in or not!
For the student debating whether to go to WSU. I have to say (although VERY biased), the one student I have worked with from WSU was lacking knowledge significantly compared to the students I work with at NVCP. Besides, we are only a 3 year program 😳
