Major Changes

Rank Order

• Each applicant will be able to rank their top five school/program choices – a critically important update. Prior years had no ranking.
• It will be important to remember to choose a total of 5 schools. Limiting options will not improve the chances of receiving an offer – in fact, the chances will decrease.
• Each applicant will receive either one offer or zero offers during the initial response phase. Prior years applicants could receive up to 5 offers.
  

Waitlist

• Applicants will remain on the waitlist only for higher ranked schools to which they did not receive an offer and accept multiple higher offers as they come. Prior years applicants stayed on all waitlists and could only move once.
