In these cases, the Admissions Committee may grant conditional admission status to the applicant, until there is sufficient and clear evidence that the student is qualified to enter the program. Conditionally admitted students receive formal admission only if they provide the evidence requested by the Admissions Committee. The requested evidence may consist of additional letters of recommendation, evidence of professional growth potential, or additional course work. The Admissions Committee specifically informs conditionally admitted students about the time period within which the requirements for unconditional admission must be met.
