Happy Thursday! I've noticed that the program began accepting applications this past Sunday and I've applied.
 
I was looking for information on what type of candidate is a great fit for this program,  thank you for providing that here.
 
Is there a timeline you can provide for when we can expect to hear back from program management with interview information?
 
Thank you!
