You must submit all required documents before we can consider your application and it is your responsibility to ensure your application is complete. Your application will be reviewed as is and the decision to take your application to the next stage will be made on the basis of the information submitted.
Once you have submitted your application you will receive an automated email response confirming receipt of your application and instructions on how to pay the application fee.
All decisions are communicated via email by close of business on the deadlines shown in the application calendar.
Please note that We will not discuss your decision over the phone, or with anyone other than you. We will contact you directly should the Admissions Committee require any further information from you.
Following your review decision, if shortlisted for interview you will be given further information on the interview process. Your interview will be conducted by a member of our alumni community or a member of the Recruitment and Admissions Team.
Currently, we have 2 types of interviews: one interview is held face to face , another one can be done virtually. The Recruitment and Admissions Team and alumni utilize the same interview process – who you interview with will not have any impact on the outcome of your application. The Admissions Committee employs the same assessment criteria regardless of the interviewer (staff or alumni).
After your interview is complete, the Admissions Committee will conduct their final, holistic review of your application and send you a final decision by the deadline indicated in the calendar.
We operate a waitlist system. Following the interview stage, some candidates may be placed on the waitlist. You will receive a decision update at scheduled date(s). Each year, a number of waitlist candidates are successful in getting a place in the program.
We seek students who will contribute to our community—and to society throughout their lives.
Academic achievement is important, but it’s only part of what we consider when making decisions. We look for applicants who are curious, determined, and creative. We take into account special talents or successes that might not appear on a transcript. We appreciate unique perspectives formed by personal circumstances. These qualities help prepare students to make the most of their education.
