Program choices and alternate offers

When you apply to ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, you can pick two program choices on your application for admission.

Your first choice will be considered first. If you’re not yet admissible to your first choice, we’ll move on to consider you for your second choice.  

We suggest you pick your programs strategically. This’ll give you the best chance of gaining admission.

First choice

Pick your most desired program as your first choice. Be sure you read and understand the admission requirements. They include estimated competitive admission average and required courses.

If you’re admitted to your first choice, this is the only offer you will receive.

Second choice

Pick a program you’re interested in that has a lower estimated competitive admission average. If you receive an offer to your second-choice program, you will still continue to be considered for your first-choice program.

Admitted to your second choice?

Congratulations! We look forward to welcoming you to the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ community.

You can accept or decline your second-choice offer. Your first-choice program remains active whether or not you accept your second-choice program.

If you're admitted to your second choice, you'll continue to be considered for your first choice when we receive new grades, or if spaces become available.

You only need to pay the admission deposit once. If you receive an offer to your first-choice program later on, the admission deposit is automatically applied to your first choice acceptance.

Your second-choice offer is a great way to get started with ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½!


Admitted to an alternate program?

Congratulations! We look forward to welcoming you to the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ community.

Alternate offers are granted to students who are academically strong and not yet admissible to the programs they have applied to.

You can accept or decline your alternate offer. Your first and second program choices remain active whether or not you accept your alternate offer. You'll continue to be considered for your program choices when we receive new grades, or if spaces become available.

You only need to pay the admission deposit once. If you receive an offer to your first or second choice program later on, the admission deposit is automatically applied to this acceptance.

Your alternate offer is also a great way to get started with ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½!
