How long is the selection process or how long will it take before I find out the status of my application?
Our goal is to complete the corps member selection process within two months of receiving the application. This means that two months after we receive an application, the applicant should know if he or she has been accepted, placed on the waitlist or not accepted. However, there are many instances when it may take longer than two months.

The team leader selection process is handled at the campus level. Campuses extend offers simultaneously on the designated offer date for their program cycle. This means that one month after the application deadline, the applicant should know if he or she has been selected for a position or as an alternate.
