How competitive is entrance to the MA II program?
We review the applications to the MA II as strictly as all the other applications. Although the program is shorter and has fewer requirements, the applicants will still be attending regular graduate seminars and must demonstrate in their applications that they have the academic strength to participate fully in a graduate program. As seen in the statistics given above, however, typically a slightly higher percentage of applicants are admitted to the MA II. It is important that their academic goals match the goals outlined for the MA II program.
