As soon as LOAs were complete I began working on sending complete files for qualification. What is a bit different from last year is that I am working much faster and focusing on pushing people for Qualification as rapidly as I can. The Admissions Committee reviews each one and then stamps it Qualified or Disqualified. When they come back Qualified, we send a letter telling them so. If they are not medically qualified yet, then they get a letter saying they are Academically and Physically Qualified, only.
When the nominations come in, if a Fully Qualified person is eligible for an offer (say, as a Vacancy Fill or as one of the top candidates in the nation as a Qualified Alternate), it is one quick button-push to get them slated. They should get offered the appointment at the next Admissions Committee meeting, which is every Tuesday. If that same person was not yet sent through for qualification, it would probably take at least 2 weeks because they have to wait in the queue to get reviewed by at least 3 separate people.
