Notification of Decision
The Admissions Office begins considering completed applications in early December. Since more than 4,800 applications are individually reviewed, it may take several weeks or months for a completed application to be considered. Once the Admissions Committee has made a decision, applicants are advised promptly of the decision as an offer of admission, an offer of a place on the wait list or a denial of admission. Because the admissions process includes an evaluation of the overall achievements of each applicant relative to those of other applicants, many admissions decisions are not finalized until the bulk of applications have been reviewed. Applicants who are in the wait list category may not receive a final decision until late summer. Due to confidentiality requirements, admissions decisions are not communicated by telephone, nor is information on an applicant released to anyone other than that applicant.
If an offer of admission is extended, the admitted student needs to send a deposit to the Admissions Office by the specified date in order to secure a position in the entering class. The offer of admission will be withdrawn if the required deposit is not received when due.
Admitted students need to provide an official transcript from their undergraduate institution indicating that a bachelor's degree has been conferred. Official transcripts from all colleges or universities from which you received degrees must also be provided. Copies of transcripts provided with the LSDAS report are not sufficient to meet this requirement. Official transcripts need to be on file in the Admissions Office prior to the day of registration.
