Day One of Admissions Committee

We kicked off our admissions committee meetings today and devoted most of the day to discussion of our applicants. In case you are wondering, we don't typically all meet together for the entire day. The staff spent the first couple of hours all together, broke for lunch from New England Roast Beef, and then reconvened into two smaller groups for the afternoon.

Have you visited the meet the staff page? One group consisted of me, Katie, Julie, Kait, Aleksandra and Michelle...the other Jen, Adam, Jay, Karen, Bonnie, and Liza.

How many applications get discussed in a day? This depends how many groups we are breaking in to, but we wound up making decisions on a couple of hundred applications today.

Tomorrow we'll break into 3 smaller groups for the day....

Hang in there...decisions will be available soon.

PS - Congrats to the women's basketball team for winning their 2nd ECAC Championship in the last 3 years!!
