What factors are considered for the admission decision?
Our admissions committee takes a holistic view across all the materials. We look at strengths, experiences, and diversity. We look for evidence of a strong academic foundation (e.g., undergraduate performance, GRE, letters of reference, etc) and for experiences working with children, teachers, and parents (e.g., diverse populations such as children with and without disabilities across the age span.) Letters of reference and your personal statement offer evidence of how you see the fit between your learning goals and the factors of the program that can support that goal. Finally, we look for a strong interpersonal presentation in the interview to solidify our decision.
