* The complete list of university and college admission results will be posted on the website in May.
** Admission results should not be construed as a direct outcome of any one program. Colleges and universities use a holistic application process to evaluate all aspects of an applicant, and while experience in a particular program may distinguish a student, no single credential will determine admission results.
