Campus Location:
Wait Listed: Open/Closed: Competitive / Oversubscribed: |
Many Schools have multiple campuses and programs may be offered at more than one location. Each campus is considered one choice.
If a program has too many applicants for the seats available, it will be shown as waitlisted after the deadline to apply has passed. If a program is no longer accepting applications it is considered closed. Open indicates that they are still accepting applications. This is the case for many programs, even after the final date to apply. As long as it remains open you can still apply. This type of program is extremely popular and cannot accommodate all the applicants. Whether a program was previously competitive can be determined by holding the mouse over the program name in the list. You can not apply to competitive programs after February 1, 2020. There is no way of knowing if a program is going to competitive or oversubscribed for the coming year. Apply on time. You can view a list of competitive programs at each college at the following link: Comeptitive Programs |
