Admissions Update

This interterm I decided to stay in Orange and work in the Admissions Office before I leave on January 29th for Florence. I am taking this time to catch up with friends before I leave and make some extra cash (if i dont spend it first) to spend while I'm abroad.

The admissions office has been CRAZY lately. The deadline for regular admission for Fall '08 was this past Tuesday, January 15th and we've had buckets and buckets of mail ever since. We have been stuffing lots of acceptance packets that started going out on the 15th, and will be rolling (meaning sending out more letters as decisions are made) from then on. Many students have been asking about late transcripts, teacher reccommendations, and other odd application parts. Just so you know, as long as you have the main portion of you application postmarked by the January 15th deadline you will be considered for admission. We understand that sometime these additional application parts get lost, misplaced, or are forgotten by teachers so we understand why they are sometimes late. Unfortunately we are unable to start reviewing your application until ALL of the application pieces are in our office--so get them in as soon as possible. ALSO, many students have been calling in asking to see if all of their application documents have been received. It takes 2-3 weeks to process all documents (because of the influx of applications this year) so, even though your webadvisor might say you are missing a part of your application, it is most likely in our office and is in the process of being put into your profile--so no need to worry.

Please feel free to contact the Office of Admissions or comment on this blog if you have any further questions!
