Using the same event I don't think you can do this no. There are other solutions such as having two events.

OR use a webform for the application and then just one 'real' CiviEvent

I dont think you can share participant custom field data between two events, primarily because it is 2 different participant records

however if the user is logged in, you should be able to do this via a hook

alternatively you can use contact custom fields across both the events

Hey there,

OR use a webform for the application and then just one 'real' CiviEvent

I think this is a neat solution.  Have not implemented but know some people who have.  So might be worth experimenting and seeing if it can meet your use case.  Pretty sure you can use it for the first part and then take payment via the standard registration page (which you can direct people to with a link once they are approved.

Should be possible using one event.

We use it for applications for sporting events where we require a minimum amount of fundraising.

Process:
Tick the box "Require participant approval" during the set up of the online registration form and set up the fees as required.
An applicant fills out the event entry form
They won't be taken to a payment form but given the approval message you choose during the online form set up
Once they have completed the form they will be in Civi with the status of "Awaiting Approval"
Carry out your acceptance procedure
Select those who have passed and change their status to "Pending from approval"
They'll receive and email with a link to the payment screen
Once they complete the transaction their participant status will change to 'registered'

Thank you for the advice.  That's looking very promising.  We will try it.

Petednz, I think you probably have the same problem I was just looking at.  I believe the answer is here: http://www.packtpub.com/article/managing-events-civicrm

Require participant approval? is used if you want the administrative staff to review registrants before they are allowed to complete their registration and pay. Enabling this will mark each registrant as pending approval in the participant status field and exposes an approval message field where you provide guidance to the registrant regarding this function.

Before using the participant approval functionality you need to enable the Awaiting approval, Pending from approval, and Rejected statuses at Administer | CiviEvent | Participant Statuses, and configure the ParticipantProcessor.php cron job, as described in the Waitlisting section.

As an aside - it is quite a nutty way of hiding that functionality for (I think) no good reason.  Would be great if it was a bit more visible.
