« Economic Times Being What They Are... | Main | Mail Bag: responding to some common questions on my blog »

On the first day of Christmas, the admissions office gave to me...

forty mail bins of letters lined down the hall outside my office door.  I'll try to get a picture and post it on my blog.  Quite a sight to see, all these "thick envelopes", ready to go.  Monday afternoon the post office will make a special pick up to get all these letters in the mail, so that many students can have a very happy holiday season!

Every student that applied by October 1 AND who had all their credentials and scores in to the Admissions Office will be hearing from us this week with an update on their status.   However not everyone that applied by October 1 will receive a final decision this week.   Some students will find out that we cannot make a decision on their application until March.  This is because we have more applicants that we have space.  For the majority of our applicants, we must wait until after everyone has been carefully reviewed, which will take at least two more months.  Then, after everyone has has a fair and thorough review, we will be able to make our final determinations on who we can admit.
