We review all eligible Applicants fully and fairly, regardless of when they apply. However, there are some benefits to applying early.
We limit the number of Applications we will review to 3,000. We guarantee any eligible Early Applications will be reviewed, however, if we exceed our limit of 3,000 applications by the Regular Deadline, we cannot guarantee a submission will be reviewed. We will make a note on our website and on our social media platforms if we are approaching this limit, to notify prospective Applicants;
Early Applicants will find out if they have received a Finalist Interview in June, rather than in the Fall - which is the case for the Regular Applicants;
We award 100 Finalist Interviews each year. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the Interview slots filled in the Early Application Round determine the number of Interview slots that we have available for Regular Round Applicants; and
We receive the majority of our Applications for the Regular Application Deadline.
