Application Process

First Round

In the FIRST ROUND MATCH, applications meeting our criteria for admission, or viewed as competitive (meaning they may not meet the criteria exactly, but appear to be potentially successful candidates), are reviewed several times by the Program Director and Application Review Committee. Applications are discussed by the group and ranking decisions made. Your application is reviewed as a whole. Interviews are NOT part of the process but you may receive a call for clarification of information.

Second Round

Unlike the "first round match", there is no actual matching during this process. Instead, applicants apply and are accepted or not accepted on a rolling basis. Decisions will be made on complete applications within 24 hours and offers must be accepted when offered.

If and when the Internship decides to participate in the Second Round, which decision is based on whether there are openings in the Program, the information and specific instructions will be posted on our website. Generally, the application process and admission requirements are identical, except that D&D Digital is no longer involved.
