All applications are initially reviewed in detail by three admission officers and the director of admission, after which point the admission committee comes together to discuss each file and make an initial recommendation. For those students applying for financial aid, the financial aid committee further discusses their candidacy and allocates resources to students who qualify until the entire budget has been allotted. Once all applications have been reviewed in this format, the committee meets again to further refine the pool to ensure a balanced incoming class, representative of many different interests, talents, and backgrounds.
