If your application passes through our review process, you and your parents will then be invited in for an interview. This is the final step in the review process for acceptance into the program. We will use both the responses in the interview, along with the content of your application to decide whether to accept you into the program or not. Getting invited for an interview does not mean you have been accepted into the program.
Notification of the decision.
We will notify you as to the result of the application review via email and a letter will be sent to your home address.
