Admission Policy
The admission process for the School consists of two parts. Part I is application and transcript assessment utilizing the application and transcript assessment form. Once an application is completed, the program director will complete an assessment form.
Applicants must achieve at least three points from Part B on the application and transcript assessment form and score four points under Part C. Once the applicant accumulates at least five additional points under Parts D & E for a minimum total of twelve points they may be scheduled for Part II of the admission process, an interview.
On the day of the interview, the applicant will be given a tour by a radiology intern. The applicant will then be interviewed by several faculty members. Following each interview, an interview assessment form will be completed. Included in the assessment will be a rating of the applicant’s letters of recommendation. The total scores from Part II will be calculated and then averaged.
Total Points from Part I and the averaged score from Part II are then assessed, and applicants with scores of at least 80 points will be considered for acceptance. Class selection is based on the highest accumulation of points. If the class is not filled by the end of all interviews, applicants receiving less than 80 points will be considered for acceptance based on the highest accumulation of points.
