RMU Admissions

Application Process – Post Professional

Step 1: Complete online application through our applicant portal

1. You will attach your resume, statement of professional goals essay, valid identification, and healthcare license (if applicable) when you submit your application.
2. For programs that require letters of recommendation, there is a section within the application where you will enter your reference’s email addresses. Once your application is submitted, an email will be sent to these references with a link for them to submit our internal letter of recommendation form on your behalf.
3. Finally, you will need to request official copies of your transcripts from your previous institutions to complete your application.
4. Once submitted, you can check your applicant portal at any time to see the current status of your application, or check on the remaining items needed to complete your application. You are welcome to call the Admissions office directly with any questions about your application or the process at any time!
   

Step 2: Once your application is complete, your completed application will be sent to the program-specific Admissions Selection Committee for review.

You will receive an email update letting you know your application is complete and has been sent to the program for review. *The review process can take 1-2 weeks on average.

• For some programs (i.e Counseling and Nursing), there is also an interview. A representative from the program will contact you to schedule your interview. During the interview process, you will meet with at least one faculty member who will ask you a set of questions applicable to your experience, past education, and future goals.

Step 3: After review of your application, and an interview if applicable, the program will notify the Admissions office regarding their admission decision for your application.

1. You will receive an email notifying you of the admission decision from the Admissions office. If accepted, an acceptance email and letter will be sent.
2. If accepted, this email will contain an acceptance letter notifying you of your acceptance as well as an enrollment deadline date to confirm your enrollment. The deadline to confirm enrollment can vary.
3. A separate email will be sent containing a link to sign the enrollment agreement form to confirm your enrollment. You will also need to submit an enrollment deposit after the completion of this form.

Step 4: Once the enrollment form and deposit have been submitted, an Admissions coordinator will add these documents to your file and update our systems (which updates other departments) to show that you’ve enrolled.

1. You will then receive an enrollment confirmation email that will confirm receipt of your forms and deposit. This important email will also contain an Enrollment Checklist, which will outline everything you need to know regarding next steps in becoming an RMU student.
2. You will also receive emails from various departments introducing themselves and offering any help as needed.

Application Process – Residential

Step 1: Complete an application via CAS for the respective program (PTCAS, CASPA, CSDCAS, OptomCAS, OTCAS)

Step 2: Once submitted, applicants will be reviewed after they are verified by CAS.

1. Admissions will review the applicant’s GPA, GRE scores (if applicable), patient contact hours (if applicable), and other aspects of the application. If/when an applicant meets or exceeds the program’s minimum requirements, they will be sent to the program for further review.
2. Once the program decides who to interview, the program and the admissions team will help schedule the interview time.
3. Each program will have its own schedule, outline, and objectives for the interviews.

Step 3: Once the interviews are completed, programs will release decisions within about 2-3 weeks after the interview day.

1. If accepted, this email will contain an acceptance letter notifying you of your acceptance as well as an enrollment deadline date to confirm your enrollment. The deadline to confirm enrollment can vary. 
   1. Both DPT and MS MedSLP applicants have universal deadline dates to confirm that all universities abide by. For DPT, it’s January 15th, and MS MedSLP, it’s April 15th. Once these deadlines pass, the Admissions office provides the deadline date.
2. A separate email will be sent containing a link to sign the enrollment agreement form to confirm your enrollment. You will also need to submit an enrollment deposit after the completion of this form.

Step 4: Once the enrollment form and deposit have been submitted, an Admissions coordinator will add these documents to your file and update our systems (which updates other departments) to show that you’ve enrolled.

1. You will then receive an enrollment confirmation email that will confirm receipt of your forms and deposit. This important email will also contain an Enrollment Checklist, which will outline everything you need to know regarding next steps in becoming an RMU student.
