Can exceptions be made for first year students with additional credits or for graduating seniors?
No. You must be a sophomore, junior, or non-graduating senior to be eligible to apply. To be considered a sophomore, must have 2 academic years of college coursework (not including college credit earned while in high school or its equivalent) by the start of the program. To be considered a non-graduating senior, you cannot graduate with your undergraduate degree prior to December 2023.
