FAQs

  • Yes, the INI does accept applications for spring semester admissions. Please visit our "How to Apply" page for more information.

  • The INI does not use a "formula" to rank applicants for acceptance. The list of requirements provided on the "How to Apply" page indicates the minimum recommended qualifications for admission consideration to any INI program. Further, in depth evaluation is undertaken during review of all completed/submitted applications in the chosen term of entry.

  • In the online application you will be given the option of choosing a first-choice program and a second -choice program. Applicants should only submit one application that indicates a first preference and second preference. During application review the admissions committee will assess your qualifications for both program choices. If you are deemed unqualified for your first-choice program, admission to your second choice will be considered. If you are considered unqualified for both of your selections, you still may be considered for another INI program you are deemed most qualified to enter.
