Admission

Admission is highly competitive; enrollment is limited. Students operate in one cohort throughout the academic year.

Due to the rolling admissions policy, it is highly recommended that candidates submit applications early. The candidate's major and trend in grades, personal achievements, and letters of recommendation also affect the admission decision. The MSF program seeks social, cultural, and geographical diversity in its student body.
