All students who applied and interviewed did so earlier in the month of April and all then received final decisions almost a month prior to the previous year. |

An advising plan was created so that students receive more feedback when accepted, during the pre-practicum, throughout the practicum, and during senior year. The majority of these pieces were implemented in 2015-2016 with the rest to be rolled out in 2016-2017. Staff to lead these elements were also identified. |

An initial crosswalk of PSTs in WPI courses was created and certain courses/experiences were changed to include PST elements. These elements were piloted with students during the academic year. |
