Application requirements include:

If your Director of Training writes a letter in addition to filling out the Readiness for Internship form, that counts as a letter and you only need to send two other letters.

Please do not send samples of testing reports with your application.

The deadline for the receipt of materials is November 2, 2009. You are strongly encouraged to apply early. After review by the internship committee, interviews will be extended for interview days in January of 2009. Applicants will be notified by email of their interview status at 2pm (EST) on December 9, 2009. Those who are invited for an interview will then be allowed to email back a ranking of their preferred interview day(s). Applicant preferences for a particular day will be granted until the 10 interview slots per day are filled, whereupon they will be assigned their 2nd or 3rd preferred interview day. Interview slots go fast and an on-site interview is required, so interns who are interested in our program are encouraged to heed the above information. If you have not received e-mail confirmation that your application materials were received by November, 5th, please contact the training director.
