Application Evaluation Criteria

Applicants will be evaluated on the following:

  • Academic achievement (overall GPA)
    • A crucial element for student success in this rigorous program is the capability of academic achievement. A student’s history of academic performance is indicative of future academic achievement. Applicants will be evaluated based on their overall college GPA.
  • Prerequisite GPA
    • Prerequisite and support courses for the program provide students with a solid foundation of knowledge and are essential for success in the program.
    • Before submitting the application, all required prerequisite courses must be completed with at least a ‘C’ grade and an overall 2.7 prerequisite GPA.
  • Health care work experience or volunteer experience
    • Provide your work history and any health care employment experience or any volunteer time done for a health care facility, starting with your most recent position. This should be direct patient care experience.
    • Please Note: If prior approval for the type of work/volunteer hours was obtained from program faculty, documentation of that approval must be submitted with application, or the hours will not count towards the scoring points.
  • Interview (if selected)
    • The top 20-25 highest-scoring applicants will be selected for interviews, which will be conducted by the Medical Radiography Selection Committee.

Of the applicants interviewed, the top 12-14 highest-scoring students will be selected for admission into the program, with up to five additional students to be selected as alternates.

  • The number of students selected is dependent on the number of clinical spots available.
