Selection and Interview Process

Selection Process
All completed applications received by the deadline will be reviewed and receive a weighted score. Categories considered during the weighting process include, but are not limited to: grades received in prerequisite courses (science and math courses are weighted highest), previous work/volunteer/shadow experience in a medical environment; and current GPA.

The applications receiving the highest weighted scores will be offered the opportunity to interview for the MRP.

Interviews
Interviews are conducted in January/February. Interviewees will be contacted by phone or email, as well as receive an interview packet.

Following the panel interview, the candidate tours the RCRH Medical Imaging Services department with a guide. The process takes approximately two hours.

Upon completion of the interviews, the new students are selected. Candidates are notified of results in February; the program commences in June each year.

A maximum of ten students may be selected each year. Once selected to enter the MRP, a prospective student must officially accept the invitation and remit the nonrefundable tuition deposit by the designated date.

Invitations are extended on a contingency basis. All admissions requirements must be met in order to be eligible to enter the MRP.
