Getting into the Program.
Any student interested in the Call should contact the director as soon as possible.
It is best for students to enter at the beginning of their freshmen or sophomore year, though juniors may also apply, but will miss some program components. The application process may be started as soon as a student is certain they'd like to apply - either prior to the startup of school or within the first few weeks.
All application materials should be submitted by September 30th. Acceptance to the Call after that time will depend upon Cohort availability.
