The fall travel season for the PC Admission staff is complete (for most of us, at least!)... and we now have to quickly shift gears and move into "reading mode." That's right, our Early Action application postmark deadline is tomorrow (November 1), and there are definitely a lot of applications here in our office waiting to be read! While the admission counselors have been traveling throughout the country for the past two months, our operations staff has been very busy handling all of the applications that have come into our office and preparing them for the counseling staff to begin reading. How many do we have in the Early Action pool? We aren't quite sure yet, as hundreds of applications continue to arrive each day. I'll pass on more specific numbers as soon as we know...

If you have applied Early Action (or are planning to send in your EA application in the next 24 hours!), please be aware that we will be letting you know if your application is complete by the end of November. We are currently receiving thousands of applications, teacher recommendations, high school transcripts, etc. and when all of these pieces are matched up and entered into our computer system, it will be easy for us to let you know if you are missing anything from your application. So again, please don't worry if you don't hear anything from us about your application until the end of the month... we'll get there and will definitely let you know if anything is missing!

I'll write a lot more about the Early Action process over the next month or so but please feel free to post any questions you may have!
