• All rotations will be in Augusta (barring very
  unusual circumstances)
• You may not choose a rotation outside of Augusta,
  even if out-of-town slots are available.

  pregnant at the time of the Lottery.

• If multiple students who are taking
  Married/Dependent Preference are in a group, we
  ask that you consider choosing another group, for
  the following reasons

  enough Augusta slots MDP students.

  not being able to do the required minimum of 18
