Farewell, Admissions Committee!

As I mentioned in my most recent update, we’re moving step-by-step toward the end of the fall 2017 admissions process.  Representing a significant milestone, today the MALD/MA Admissions Committee will meet together for the last time.  Though the day’s task is to give a batch of applications careful consideration, we will also be winding down for the year.  And then we’ll have cupcakes!  (Don’t tell the other committee members.  It’s a surprise.)  The PhD committee has also wrapped up, but the MIB and LLM committees still have meetings in front of them (naturally, since they just received applications on their final March 1 deadline).

For the next few weeks, it will be up to the Admissions staff to take over the finishing work until we finally release decisions.  To prep for that moment, next week I’ll provide details on our different decision options.

And now I’ll head over to the meeting.  I will really miss the students on this year’s committee.  They have been serious, thoughtful, and fun — everything we hoped for when Dan and I interviewed and selected them.
