ADMISSIONS INFORMATION Rosemead has an evangelical Christian commitment and requires that an applic ant have been a Christian for at least one year prior to admission. No discrimina tion with reference to an applicant's sex, racial, or national background is practiced in the admissions policies. Rosemead welcomes all applicants regardless of racial or national origin who are personally committed to faith in Christ. Persons interested in attending Rosemead should request application forms from the Director of Admissions, Dr. William F. Hunter. Visits to the La Mirada campus are encouraged. It is advisable to write or phone in advance to arrange an ap pointment if a conference is desired with an admissions counselor. Visits to classes may not be made without consent of the instructors. Since enrollment is limited and admission is on a selective basis, applications should be made as early as possible. The application deadline is February 15. De cisions are made only on completed applications. Rosemead currently admits new students for the degree programs only in the fall semester each year. Applications submitted after the February 15 deadline will rarely be considered for the following fall semester. Applications for the M.A. program will be accepted after the Feb ruary 15 deadline, though priority will be given to those who have met the dead line date. As in most graduate programs in psychology, competition is keen and enrollment is limited. In order to be admitted to full graduate standing the applicant must comply with the following: (1) Possess a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited liberal arts college or university with an average grade of at least "B" for the junior and senior years, i.e., 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. (2) Present an undergraduate program with either a major in psychology or its functional equivalent, which is a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit in psychology, including one course each in General Psychology, Statistical Methods, Abnormal Psychology, Theories of Personality, and Learning. (3) Submit scores on the aptitude tests and the psychology advanced test of the Graduate Record Examination. This test is administered under the auspices of the Educational Testing Service. Information regarding testing dates and loca tions may be obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. No applicant is exempted from submitting GRE scores which must be received prior to the deadline date of February 15. Superior GRE scores are highly desirable, though not the sole criterion for ad mission. (4) Submit completed profiles (not answer sheets) of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SVIB-II). These tests may be taken at most college testing services or from a licensed psychologist. (5) Submit five letters of recommendation on forms supplied by the school. Three of these are academic references and two are character references (pastor and personal friend). (6) Appear for a personal interview with the Admissions Committee or its represen tative. Arrangements are made by the Committee. Since Rosemead' s programs 27
