Keep in mind… 12,600 applications take a long time to review, especially when you read each and every essay, letter of recommendation, interview write-up, etc. When the first wave of admits is sent, other applications are still under review; some are in committee, some are waiting for a second review (which every application gets), etc.

Certainly some of these applications are submitted by admissible students,; admit letters will still be sent to those students, but we cannot wait until every application is reviewed to send all of the decision letters at once - by doing so, we delay the comprehensive selection process that is required for our combined programs, full-tuition scholar interviewing program, etc.

Please understand that this allows us to be much more thoughtful about the decisions that we make.
