Application Procedures

Applicants complete and submit all necessary application materials to either SOPHAS or HAMPCAS. We do not require a supplemental application. Once the application service receives all your materials they will complete the coursework verification. It is important to submit official transcripts from all universities or colleges attended (includes community colleges) otherwise this will slow down the processing of your application. The application service will then release your application to all universities that were designated in your application. Our Master Admissions Committees meet once a week. It will usually take anywhere from one to two weeks to receive a decision. You will be notified via email and receive an official decision letter.
