A priority application deadline of March 15, 2021 and a final application deadline applies for the receipt of complete applications.

We are seeking undergraduate students in computer science, computer engineering, or health care information technology majors (or closely related fields) who are going to be a junior, or senior during the 2021-2022 academic. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or Permanent Residents. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. Talented students, whose GPA is less than (but close to) 3.0 will also be considered. These students are asked to provide a detailed statement explaining the reasons for their current GPA as part of their personal statement in the application form. Interested applicants need to submit a completed application form with a personal statement, a copy of their current transcript issued by the university (an unofficial copy is sufficient for the application), and at least two letters of recommendation (preferably by the applicant's academic professors and advisors). The applicants will be ranked based on their GPA, academic and extra-curricular accomplishments, experience, courses taken, and recommendation letters. If necessary for the decision, the top fifteen finalists will be interviewed, and eight students will be selected. Women, minorities, or members of any protected class are strongly encouraged to apply.
Applications can be submitted electronically or using conventional mail. In both cases the above mentioned deadlines apply for the receipt of complete applications. Applications will be accepted until the final application deadline. However, offers to highly qualified candidates will be made starting after the priority deadline and continued until all positions are filled.
