THIS INFORMATION WILL AFFECT YOUR FINAL GRADE!

It is critical for you to follow the directions exactly as shown below. Be specific; vagueness and ambiguity will not be resolved in your favor. Additional information will not be accepted after submission of your application. In order to receive full credit for your work experience as a Cytotechnologist you must indicate the dates (mm/yyyy) and numbers of your ORIGINAL LICENSE and ASCP registration on the application.

Pay particular attention to the following items: The dates of your employment must be in mm/yy format, Do not write "varied" or give a range of hours for "Hours Worked per Week."

Under "Duties," clearly differentiate between Cytotechnologist work experience and other work experience. Also indicate the percentage of time that duties in the field of cytology were performed.
