\\ (This interpretation of the scores is at the GAC level. The scores at the sector level are purely for ranking candidates, and don't have a specific interpretation.) |
...
* Fast-track criteria: |
...
** A folder will be fast-tracked if both initial reviewers give the folder a '4', *or* if two of three reviewers give the folder a '4' and GAC discussion indicates a fast-track is warranted. |
...
** A candidate admitted as a fast-track will receive an early admission letter and individual faculty can begin contacting the student, but the student will be invited to attend the open house with regular admits. As of 2010, we no longer invite fast-track students to visit early as our success rate with students visiting outside the open house has not been high. |
...
- A folder will be sent to the sectors for additional reviews if it receives no more than one score of 2 or lower.

...
