How to Apply
Step 5: Selection Committee Review
The selection committee will review all candidate applications for the Gateway to College program who have completed steps one through four. It is very important that you turn in all required application materials by the deadline. Acceptance is not guaranteed. Space in the program is limited.
The selection committee will be evaluating applicants based on the following factors:
- Candidate meets all the eligibility requirements
- Application is complete, and all application materials were turned in by the deadline
- Candidate achieves at least the minimum standard scores on all evaluations
- Candidate displays positive behavior, attitude and participation at the evaluation sessions
- Candidate completes the individual interview and shows us that he/she is ready and motivated
- Candidate displays a commitment to completing the Gateway to College program
You will be notified by letter of the selection committee’s decision. If you are accepted, you will be sent a letter of acceptance, your class schedule, contact information for your academic coordinator, information about books and fees, a campus map.
If for some reason you do not receive a notification letter, please call us at 215-751-8540 to check on your status. If you have not heard from us, do not wait until the first day of classes to check on your acceptance status. We are not responsible for mail not getting to you if you did not give us an accurate address and/or if you have moved since you applied and did not provide us with your new address.
