The
application process for The Ladder Program is made up of three parts: the
application, the
letters of
recommendation, and a telephone interview.
Spending a semester in Los Angeles is a rigorous academic and work
experience, and only the highest caliber of student will be accepted into
this program.
Enrollment
is limited, so students are encouraged to complete the application
process as quickly as possible before the April 1st deadline.
To
apply, a student must meet the following requirements:
- be a junior, senior or
graduate student at the time of the program
- be enrolled in a four
year college or university in the greater Salt Lake City area
(including Ogden, Logan and Provo)
- have a 3.0 or higher
grade point average. If a student has a 2.5 - 2.99 grade point
average, that student may still apply, but must submit a third
letter of recommendation from a professor. Any student below a 2.5
grade point average is not eligible to apply to The Ladder Program.
A
deposit of $500 is due with the application. If a student is accepted
into The Ladder Program, that deposit will be put towards the
Program Fee. See cost
for more details. If a student is not accepted into The Ladder
Program, that deposit will be fully refunded.
Application
Download
the PDF file, print it out and follow the instructions to
complete the application. The application also includes forms and
instructions for the letters of recommendation. We highly recommend that
students send the application and the letters of recommendation together.
Letters
of Recommendation
Two letters of recommendation are needed to apply to The Ladder Program.
One letter should be from a professor or college instructor and the
second from a current or former employer. Additional letters of
recommendation can be sent, though only two are necessary if a student
has a 3.0 or higher grade point average.
A
third letter of recommendation is needed if a student's grade point
average is between 2.5 and 2.99. This third recommendation should be from
a professor or college instructor, so there will be a total of two
letters of recommendation from professors or college instructors and one letter
from an employer.
Telephone
Interview
Each student applying to The Ladder Program will be contacted by the
Executive Director for a telephone interview. This interview will take
approximately 30 minutes. Instructions for this telephone interview will
be emailed to each student once the application and letters of
recommendation have been received.
Acceptance
Students will be notified by mail of their status - if they have or have
not been accepted into The Ladder Program - no later than May 1. Acceptance
into The Ladder Program is done on a rolling basis, so students may be
notified earlier.
