Admission

Applying to graduate school can be daunting. It can also feel impersonal. However, we pledge to personalize and simplify the process as much as possible. We use a holistic admission process that assesses each applicant's unique experiences alongside traditional measures of academic achievement - in other words, we look at each applicant as an individual.
