Fall Match 2023 - Two Paths

Traditional Path via DICAS  Due September 25 (But start early, some steps take a long time).  You'll create one application that you can use to apply to several programs.  You rank them in order of preference, and November 5th you'll find out where you matched.  You'll pay fees to DICAS, D&D Digital, and the $40 GTTN application fee.

NEW GTTN Early Admission - If you know GTTN is a top choice for you, you, apply directly to GTTN by September 5th. You'll fill out an online form, and submit a PDF that includes transcripts, DPD verification/intent to complete statements, and your personal statement.  You'll get a reply from us within two weeks. If you are a accepted, you can skip the cost and stress of DICAS match; if you aren't a match for us, you'll have time to make other plans.  

​Reminder all interns must be fully vaccinated for COVID 19*. (See possible exceptions at this link.)

Is a Master's Degree Required? 

Master's degree is required for all interns.
