Common Questions about Applying
Q: One of my sources is asking about general guidelines for the recommendation she is to write. A: The recommendation should say a little bit about their connection with you, what you will contribute as a member of the training, and anything else that is significant. The letters give us an opportunity to get to know you before the start of the training. Q: Do you require the letters by mail or would email be ok? A: We prefer the letters to come by email. Q: Does it make a difference if I apply soon or closer to the beginning of the program? A: You will find that sooner is better. Once you are fully registered in the training you can immediately start to participate in our pre-training study group. It is an amazing way to get a head start in preparation for the start of the training. |
