We generally will let you know if you've been accepted within two weeks. Occasionally, we will admit a student with less than seven years of professional experience if his or her other qualifications are exceptionally strong. Most students earn Ps in their classes. Please keep in mind, each class grade is a combination of your individual and team effort on tests, presentations, and special projects. Some test grades are numeric.
Final exams are at the discretion of each professor.
Some programs offer help sessions that are taught by the professor or by his or her assistant. These sessions are offered to students who need help with a particular class or who are experiencing overall difficulty in the program. Most help sessions are held on weekday evenings. However, faculty are always available to give extra help when a student needs it. Olin prides itself on the accessibility of its faculty.
