Departmental review
The time that it takes for an application to go through the review process varies.
After we complete our review of your application, we communicate the recommendations and denials to Admissions and they update the official record. We do this throughout the application cycle.

You’ll receive a decision by email or mail within the time frames below.
First year applicants:
