Greetings, Fletcher Admissions blog readers! I am so happy you are here! My name is Emma (she/her), and I am a first year MALD student from Rochester, NY. I am concentrating in international economics and international development/environmental policy. I am beyond thrilled to begin this journey and share my experiences at Fletcher.
Read moreThe beginning of the academic year sees me buried in a variety of stats projects about the newest class and overall enrollment at Fletcher. While it’s a lot of work that needs doing on a pretty tight schedule, it’s also fun for what it reveals about our student community.
Read moreI thought it worth sharing a recent interview with Fletcher Professor Karen Jacobsen in TuftsNow focusing on the resettlement process of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees in the United States.
Read moreThis time of year is notable in many ways, including peak Pumpkin Industrial Complex activity and horror movie reruns on basic cable (did you know there are now at least THREE movies that can reasonably be referred to as “Halloween II?”), but in this space it’s squarely Application Deadline Reminder Season. As such, I’ll remind you that the November 10 application deadline for Early Notification is approaching.
Read moreToday we’ll hear from Princess, also “returning” to Fletcher for her second year of study and first year in-residence.
Read moreHow do you guys feel having in-person classes after so long? I have to say that it has been a little overwhelming, fun, and also exhausting. Our last year over zoom had its difficulties but at the same time its advantages. However, I would not change being at the Halls of Flags for anything.
Read moreAmong the many annual rites of the academic year is the assembling of our Admissions Graduate Assistant team. We love having these students join our office as they provide crucial support to our operations throughout the year, though it’s also just nice to have the chance to get to know them and follow their student journey at Fletcher. Prospective students are likely to find themselves in touch with our GAs at some point during the year, too, as they’re often the first point of contact in our office. Returning MALD student Shelby worked with us all last year, too, though given our virtual format we’re just now getting our long-overdue opportunity to welcome her (and to welcome her back) in-person. She’s joined by first-year students Talha and Sandra, whom we’re of course also thrilled to have join us.
Read moreA quick call out today for the approaching application deadlines for the Global Master of Arts (GMAP) Program. GMAP has an application cycle that runs in significant parallel to that of Fletcher’s residential degree programs, but because of its unique format and schedule, it also veers enough away at certain points to make it worth highlighting separately.
Read moreGood grief, it’s already October! Amidst your various autumn chores – retrieving flannel sheets and sweaters from storage, removing window AC units, and getting your Halloween stuff – make sure you don’t lose sight of your application for January enrollment. The deadline of October 10 is now a short week away.
Read moreOne of my favorite extracurricular events at Fletcher has come up on the calendar. As always, I’m happy to share the news about the launch of the annual Fletcher D-Prize competition. This competition in creative poverty solutions highlights the spirit of social entrepreneurship that courses through our student community.
