Each and every applicant will be notified of their status by mail within the first two weeks of April.
We have enjoyed meeting you this year, and interacting with you. If you are not selected this year and wish to remain on our email list - please contact
[email protected] after May 1, 2004. Applicant orientations will resume in May of this year. Remember - if you are applying for admission in 2005 - we will be using the Central Application Service for PAs (CASPA)! CASPA starts accepting applications in May or June. You can check out CASPA at:
