How does the new October 1 deadline affect the admissions process?
Starting in 2009, all completed applications received by the new deadline date will be evaluated by the admissions committee. The applicants selected for interviews will be notified by the end of November (instead of Feb – March in previous years). This will allow the selected applicants sufficient time to study for the IA exam. Also, only those applicants selected for the interview and IA exam will be required to purchase the IA study guide (if applicable).
