Read MoreThe next couple of months before starting graduate school are going to fly by – no joke, you’re going to wake up one morning and it’s going to be the end of August and start of orientation at Fletcher.
Read MoreWe are so excited to welcome our new Fletcher community members! A piece of advice I always share with new students is to take full advantage of the summer before your first semester to read for personal enjoyment.
Read MoreToday we’ll check in with Henry, who urges incoming students to do whatever it takes to set aside some time for themselves before the start of the fall semester.
Read MoreAs promised, I’m turning things over to my Admissions colleagues for their advice to incoming students. Take it away, Rita!
Read MoreIt’s been a while since I’ve deputized my Admissions colleagues to assemble in the blogatorium, and this is a natural time of year to turn to my co-conspirators for some words of wisdom. While much of our attention is now pivoting toward assembling the next Fletcher class (for 2022 matriculation, crazy as that sounds), there’s still quite a lot of work we’re doing with incoming students.
Read MoreWith the release of the bulk of admissions decisions for fall 2021, much of our attention is now focused on working with admitted students as they make enrollment decisions.

Read MoreReaders, it’s that time of year when we’re obliged to have a conversation about a distasteful but crucial topic: financial planning. I know, I know, it’s like taxes. No one wants to do it, and it feels like there’s enough time that it can always be put off just a bit longer. March has a way of quickly becoming April, though, and waiting until you’re forced to think concretely about it will constrain your options and increase the pressure under which you find yourself. So let’s do this thing!
Read MoreIt’s decision time, readers! It’s a momentous point in the year for all of our applicants as well as us in the Office of Admissions. There’s always a sense of accomplishment, and a somewhat exhausted exhalation, at the release of decisions on our end. Also an understanding that a new phase of even more important work is just beginning as we help our newly-admitted students determine whether Fletcher is the right fit for them. More than all of that, though, we feel a great sense of gratitude to all of our applicants for the time and effort you’ve expended to complete and submit your applications to us.
Read MoreA few weeks after the big January application deadline, our processing factory is at full steam and we’re happily reading through all of your applications.
