Quick update for January 18

The quickest of updates today.  First, the Office of Admissions is closed for the public holiday.  We’ll reopen tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

Our January 10 applicants will want to know that we’re making excellent progress in compiling and reading applications.  The students on the Admissions Committee read a lot of applications over their break, and now it’s up to the Admissions staff to pick up the pace of their own reading.  Applicants should know, though, that no matter whether we read your application first or last, all decisions will go out together at the end of March.

The process for reviewing PhD applications takes extra time, but nearly all of those submitted on December 20 have been read at least once already.  Decisions for PhD applicants will also go out at the end of March.
