For this reason, the selection committee uses the following criteria to determine which applicants will be admitted. The criteria listed below is used for the selection of students for both the day and evening program. Applicants will be ranked according to the number of natural science and general education courses required in program that have been successfully completed (see table below). Please note that there is no waiting list.
