Acceptance

Students will be selected from the applicant pool based on a point system. The application is due by the deadline of February 15th.  These applicants will be admitted to the class beginning the summer term (May). Any alternates will be notified as quickly as possible should an opening occur throughout the month of April. Those not accepted may reapply for the next summer start. 

Points are calculated using the MLT Points Calculator.
