Below is the overall application process. Applicants should frequently check the email provided on their application to be informed of next steps. Candidates that move past a video interview will receive an invitation to self-schedule their face-to-face interview via email and by text if you included a mobile number on your application.
Application
Submit your initial application to the program for our admissions team to review. Ensure you meet the transfer eligibility before you apply.
Video Interview
Applicants that move forward will be invited to complete a video interview. During this step, you will be prompted to give recorded answers to 5-7 questions. You will need to use a device with a camera and may use a tablet, mobile phone, or computer. We understand nerves, and are only looking at your answers, not if you stumble or make mistakes in the process.
OR Shadowing
The operating room environment is not for everyone. Prospective students should schedule an OR tour and surgical observation with our team or at your local facility. *You can do this before you apply.
This is highly encouraged but not required.
Admissions Interview
You will interview face-to-face with a member of our Administration team and clinical Faculty. You must complete an OR observation prior to your interview or your application will be rejected for the next term and the interview will be canceled.
Decision Letters Sent
You will be notified via email if you are accepted, wait listed, or rejected for the Fall Term. Acceptance is conditional upon qualifying for your FASFA award. In the event a prospective student does not qualify, the seat will be filled from a student on the wait list.
Student Orientation
Student orientation details will be forthcoming.
