The computer generated lottery at each campus will create a list of students who will be invited to attend and will also create a numbered wait-list.
Acceptance & Wait-List

Students selected via the computer generated lottery at each campus will receive an invitation letter or a notification of wait-list status no more than four weeks after application. Students will continue to be invited as openings occur over the summer until August 1st. Students are not invited into the program once the school year begins since they are enrolled in college courses and the wait-list is dissolved.
