The first of the fall's deadlines

Today marks the day when the admissions season really kicks off for us.  It’s the deadline for applications to enroll at Fletcher in January.  The January class is small, and the pool of applications always seems very manageable.  But from here on, we’re in a cycle of reading applications, making decisions, and notifying applicants that won’t end until March.  Since everyone here enjoys reading applications, this is the start of the best of our work.  On the other hand, with travel still underway, there are still several months before we’ll be taking quiet “reading days” at home.  That’s something to look forward to!
