Midway Through the Fall

For many applicants, the main point-of-contact among admissions staff members is Justin Norton. Justin greets visitors who arrive for an information session or an interview, and helps student interviewers prepare for their sessions. Here are Justin’s thoughts at this point in the admissions process:

Hello Fletcher Applicants!

Things are moving at warp speed in the halls of Fletcher as we mark the midway point of our evaluative interview season.

With an unprecedented number of student volunteers conducting interviews, and many enthusiastic and unique candidates, it has been a memorable admissions season! Although Monday and Friday interview slots are pretty much booked through December due to the popularity of information sessions and class visits, there are still slots available Tuesday through Thursday. Call 617-627-3040 or email us at fletcheradmissions@tufts.edu to make an appointment.

We are also in the process of evaluating applications for Spring 2007 Admission. Our staff has been hard at work reading essays and reviewing transcripts. Our travels continue, too. During the second week of November we will be in Europe speaking with prospective students at APSIA fairs. Stops on this final leg of our travel schedule include Madrid, Milan, Berlin, and Copenhagen. We look forward to describing our vibrant academic community and fielding all of your questions about the admissions process.

Fresh off mid-terms and armed with newly minted business cards, Fletcher students are gearing up for the New York City career trip next week. Run by the Office of Career Services, this annual event connects current Fletcher students with employers and alumni in many fields.

Hope you are all having a great fall! We look forward to reading the applications submitted before our November 15 Early Notification deadline.
