Winter Weather Roundup & Application Deadline Details
You’ve no doubt by now either heard about or experienced first hand the aftermath of last week’s New England ice storm, and now we’re expecting nearly a foot or more of snow in Worcester and the surrounding area today. The closure of schools (if you’re unaware, some will end up being closed for over three weeks including the holiday break!) has caused a lot of excitement for some and a lot of frustration and confusion for others.
We’ve had numerous calls and e-mails about our upcoming January 1 deadline for Early Action Round 2 application deadline. If you plan to apply for Early Action Round 2, you should submit or postmark your application by January 1. As always, we recommend not waiting until the very last moment in case you experience unforseen technical difficulty.
Your application support material from your school, e.g. transcript and letters of recommendation, do not need to be received by January 1; however, they should arrive as soon as possible after the deadline. Rest assured that if you’ve been out of school for a week already and haven’t been in touch with your school, you can still apply and be considered for Early Action Round 2. Please read my post on what to do after you’ve applied to ensure that your application file becomes complete.
If you are unable to meet the application deadline of January 1 because of circumstances from the storms, please call or e-mail our office. Please remember that WPI and the Admissions Office will be closed for the holiday break on December 24, 2008–January 5, 2009.
