Applications are normally reviewed and decisions are sent to students within two or three weeks of the application becoming complete. We begin reviewing applications for the fall semester in October. Students applying by the November 15 Early Action deadline can expect to receive their admission decision in 2-3 weeks. Due to the high volume of applications received during the mid-November to mid-January period, responses to applications submitted before the end of January may take longer. So don’t wait—apply today.
