Admissions Timetable

The application deadline for Autumn 2008 is December 1, 2007.

Applicants are urged to sign up early for standardized tests and to arrange for timely submission of transcripts so that all documents will be received on or before this deadline. Late applications or applications with late supporting documentation may not be reviewed.

The admissions season begins with the distribution of application materials in the late summer and concludes with the notification of admissions decisions in mid-March. Applications are accepted as early as August, but early submission does not provide a competitive advantage. We guarantee the review of only those applications that are complete as of the application deadline.

Admitted students are expected to enroll in the Program in September of the year they are admitted. The faculty will consider requests to defer matriculation for a year or more, but they reserve the right to refuse such requests. If the deferred admission request is denied, the student must choose either to enroll at the time for which admission has been offered or to reapply for admission at a future time.
