What’s happening now in the Admissions Office.
Hi folks! Former blogger-in-chief Jessica here — occupying the Admissions Blog while Dan is taking a walk through the Hall of Flags.
This is the moment in the fall semester when we start hearing regularly from prospective applicants to Fletcher’s PhD program in International Relations. In some ways, they’re just like applicants to our master’s degrees, with questions about where-to-put-what in the application form, but their focus on their planned research is what makes them stand out. They often pose questions that challenge me to figure out which member of the faculty might be interested in a particular sub-specialty.
Read MoreGood grief, here we are already in November. While I’m sure blog readers have had November 10 reminders in their i-cals for quite some time now, I figure it can’t hurt to issue a final reminder about our Early Notification application deadline.
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 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 MoreLet’s get serious, readers. While blog topics in the summer months tend toward a pu pu platter of assorted Fletcher-related
Read MoreThough the admissions cycle doesn’t really have a discrete “end,” late August always does feel like the beginning of a new process. Recruitment events will soon greatly increase, and the application for 2022 enrollment will shortly be live on our website. This also means that our fall interview program will soon begin in earnest.
Read MoreToday is a doubly-special occasion, readers, as it marks not only the arrival of the first students of the new academic year, but also a big step in Fletcher’s transition back to in-person administrative operations.
