Deadline is Quickly Approaching

Tomorrow's February 1 deadline for all applications is quickly approaching and I can see that there is an increase in the volume of mail that we have been receiving.  There have even been people hand delivering their application trying to make the deadline.   Just last night as I was leaving, I accepted an application from a prospective student who was coming by the Law School after work.  Though we receive the vast majority of our applications by the deadline, we will continue accepting applications after February 1 and review them if there is room in the class.  Last year we were still accepting applications until about April 1.  Since we have a "rolling admissions" policy we review files in the order they are completed.  The longer you wait, the further in line your application will be for review by the admissions committee.  So far this year, we have already admitted 31 studetns early decision, and have made our first round of offers of admissions to the regular applicant pool - so you can see that the class is already starting to fill up.  However, we look forward to reviewing all of the applications we receive this year.  So get them done, get them in, and take a deep breath and relax!
