What’s happening now in the Admissions Office.
Though 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.
