  • PA = Preselect to Alternates (Preselects sign up first, then alternates)
  • PO = Preselect to Open (Allows students who meet criteria to sign up after Preselects)
  • PAO = Preselect to Alternate to Open (Allows students who meet criteria to sign up after Preselects and Alternates)

Open – You may set specific criteria for candidates (major, citizenship, class year), and any qualified student may sign up online for an interview.   There is no further screening of candidates if you choose this option.
