Round 2 - Any applications which do not receive an offer in Round 1 are passed to Round 2, in which the second choice option is considered. Successful candidates are sent an offer letter and any applications which are made an offer in Round 2 are not forwarded to Round 3.
Round 3 - Any applications which do not receive an offer in Round 2 are passed to Round 3, in which the third choice option is considered. Successful candidates are sent an offer letter. Any applications which are not made an offer by the end of Round 3 are forwarded for MA Clearing.
MA Clearing - Any applications which are without offer after Round 3 are considered again in MA Clearing.
