You don’t need to have done a lot of work prior to application, we just want to get a good sense of what kind of work you have done and what previous training you have had so that we can get a good sense of where you would likely stand in the final selection of this cohort. We are looking for each cohort to be balanced, so that no student feels they are not getting as much attention as those who are substantially less experienced. We might be very excited about a student, but if they don’t have as much experience as other students selected for this cohort, we might suggest that they wait until the next rotation and use that opportunity to perhaps get some additional experience in the meantime. This would not be an indication of a lack of merit, but rather a way to better prepare the student for success in the program, which we intend to run by professional standards.
