We have been notified that the host of our on-line application must update their system beginning at midnight (EST) on Friday, January 26, 2007. The system will be unavailable until Sunday, January 28, 2007.
Because the Program application deadline is midnight on February 1, 2007 and this unexpected maintenance may inconvenience you, we want to provide additional options for the completion of your application.

If you have submitted the Administrative Data section of the application and have finished uploading your Resume Narratives (items 1 – 5), your Qualification Narratives (items 6- 10), and your 3- 5 Letters of Recommendation, then you do not need to take any action at this time.
2. Applicants who have not finished the online application:
If you are still in the process of completing your application, then this repair will affect you and you will need to take one of the following three courses of action.
1. Finish the application before the system maintenance takes place (midnight (EST), Friday, January 26, 2007); or
