11. TMI SELECTION & ADMISSION PROCESS Selection for admission in the TMI-Wharton Associate Fellow program involves assessment of applications in two sequential stages. Candidacy Verification is Stage 1, in which, applicants’ educational and work backgrounds are matched with and verified against the prescribed Associate Fellow candidacy norms. Only applicants meeting these candidacy norms are declared qualified for consideration in the final Profile Evaluation, the Stage 2. Applicants passing the Profile Evaluation stage are finally selected for admissions and sent admission offers. All Associate Fellow applications are managed and evaluated by a special TMI-Wharton program management team, and the final admission decisions are taken by the TMI-Wharton Admissions committee. The decisions of the TMI-Wharton Admissions committee for all applications are final, and are emailed individually to applicants. Applicants who finally qualify for admissions, receive an assigned TMI-Wharton login to complete the admission-offer acceptance and payment process. Acceptance, selection, and admission decisions are not based on applicants’ race, color, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, veteran status, or disability. Once the fee is paid, applicants become participants of the Associate Fellow program, and they are advised on the logistics of the program. Further, from 2018 and onward, applicants holding an active GTML™ certification of TMI will directly pre-qualify for the Associate Fellow Program under the TMI-Wharton Alumni Privileges facility, though the final admission decisions will entirely be vested in the discretion of the admissions committee. PRE-QUALIFICATION & QUALIFICATION NORMS: 1. Applicants who have earned a Pre-Qualification under Alumni Privileges or equivalence facilities are exempted from the Candidacy Verification stage and move direct to the Stage 2 of Profile Evaluation. 2. Applicants who have earned a direct Qualification under any Alumni Privileges or equivalence facilities can be directly considered for admissions as their Profiles have already been assessed as admission-worthy. THE TMI-WHARTON ALUMNI PRIVILEGES FACILITY In May 2018, the highly-demanded TMI-Wharton Alumni Privileges program will be unveiled, under which, GTML™ certified senior HR professionals will pre-qualify for the TMI-Wharton Associate Fellow Program. This implies, that applicants who have earned a Pre-Qualification under Alumni Privileges or equivalence facilities are exempted from the Candidacy Verification stage and move direct to the Stage 2 of Profile Evaluation. Please check the Track 3 in the Candidacy section also to understand the proposition in greater detail. It should be noted that GTML™ certified professionals who successfully complete the Associate Fellow program are permitted to retain their GTML™ as well as the Associate Fellow designations. Associate Fellow participants qualify direct for the the TMI-Wharton Alumni Privilege policy. After completing the Associate Fellow program successfully, participants earn an automatic qualification for the prestigious TMI-Wharton Global Fellow program in Talent Management, and they join 6-stage program directly in the 4th Stage.
