Health Sciences,
Choosing the Right Path
Some Health Sciences programs are competitive, meaning they have limited seats and require applicants to meet specific criteria beyond general admission. These programs have a separate application process and selection standards. Others are non-competitive, allowing students to begin their studies without additional requirements beyond general college admission. Understanding the difference ensures you apply to the right program and are prepared for any additional steps if your chosen path is competitive.
