Interview selections for each admission cycle are independent from year to year. Applicants are considered for interview based on the competitiveness of the candidate pool for each cycle, and prior interview status does not guarantee an interview invitation.
Candidates who have been repeatedly denied admission to MTSA are strongly encouraged to apply elsewhere. If a candidate has been granted any type of admissions interview during more than three (3) separate annual interview cycles, and the candidate has been denied a position as a student or as an alternate each time, the candidate may not be permitted to interview again. If a candidate has applied and been denied to receive any type of interview with the Admissions Committee, for more than three (3) annual interview cycles, additional re-applications will no longer be accepted.
