EN update — and first Admissions Committee meeting!

The first Friday in December is a big day around the Admissions Office.  It’s when we kick off the year’s discussion of applications with our first Admissions Committee meeting.  And that’s where I’ll be going in just a few minutes.

Early Notification applicants may want to know what’s happening around here.  You just learned that we’ll be discussing some of your applications today.  In addition, I’ll add that nearly every complete application has already been read by two Committee members.  We’ll be finishing those last applications in the next few days.  Then we begin the extended period of making final decisions and notifying applicants.  For the EN round, students may be admitted, or we may defer consideration of an application to the spring.  In a few cases, we’ll notify applicants that they have not been admitted to Fletcher; we hope that learning this in December helps them make decisions on which other graduate schools to apply to in January.

And so, coffee mug in hand, I’m off to the first meeting of the year!
