               Note: *Admitted status is when a supervisor or director has been assigned. Then, applications that fulfil the requirements to be admitted are not formally admitted until a supervisor is assigned. Enrolled can differ from admitted because admitted have one year to enrol. Denied are those that not fulfilled the requirements. Many applications are not processed due to lack of information.
