The Application and Selection Process
- Recruitment
In October and November, packages containing program brochures, an Information packet, and an Application packet are mailed to the head counselors, head math teachers, and head science teachers of all the targeted high schools. These packets may be photocopied as needed. Also, there is an Application on this website which may be printed out and submitted.
- Application
Application forms may be obtained from your high school counselor, math teacher, or science teacher or printed from the website. The preferred postmark deadline each year is January 31. The UBMS Center may extend this deadline if necessary to ensure an adequate pool of qualified applicants. Priority will be given to those applications received before the January 31 deadline.

- The Selection Process
Applications are acknowledged for completeness as they are received. As the postmark deadline approaches, the completed applications are evaluated by the UBMS staff. Based on those evaluations, a pool of qualified applicants and their parents are invited to an Orientation session held on Northwest's campus.
- Orientation
The Orientation schedule includes an interview of the applicants in addition to the necessary academic pre-testing. Parents attending Orientation learn about the UBMS program, Northwest's campus, and learn about college admissions and financial assistance in general. Applicants and their parents are given a tour of the campus and also review the rules in the UBMS Participant Handbook.
