What happens during the review process?
Your application is first scanned into an encrypted, password-protected file once it’s been reviewed for completeness. After it is digitized and encrypted, it is sent to members of a review committee in a location remote to you. For example, if you live in Pennsylvania, no one in any of the adjoining states would see your application. We have several teams of reviewers, and based on the number of applications, location of the applicant, and other factors, a team is assigned the application. All applications are reviewed anonymously, and determinations by the members of the review committee are submitted independently. Once all members of the review committee have submitted their determinations, the final tally, along with a version of the application sent to the reviewers, is submitted to Awake In America’s Board for final determination.
