Admissions and Advanced Placement Policies

• Application Process

  Application Timeline and Consideration Policy

  Applications for the Emory School of Medicine Radiologic Technology Certificate Program are accepted annually from September 1st through March 1st or until 100 completed and eligible applications have been received.

  Qualified applicants who complete all admission requirements by the March 1st deadline will receive priority consideration. While the program may continue to review applications after the deadline, this is contingent upon available space. Late applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will only be considered if program capacity has not yet been met. Incomplete applications, or complete applications received after March 1, will NOT be considered.

  Admission to the program is competitive. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to accept or decline applicants based on factors such as academic performance, motivation, personality, and character. These factors are assessed through the application process, interviews, review of academic and personal data, references, and background checks.

  Meeting all eligibility requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
