We are burrowing through piles of applications. We hope to begin sending some notifications by November 20. Folks who applied by November 1 should know that their application will be reviewed before other applicants', but an early review doesn't guarantee early notification. We do want to notify applicants of their Plan II admission status as soon as possible however. We don't like keeping people waiting any more than you good people like waiting.
The good news/bad news is that we are seeing a lot of really wonderful applications. Of course, we are thrilled to see them and humbled that so many talented, bright and exciting individuals chose to apply to Plan II. The bad news is that it makes our jobs harder and means that we are forced to deny many terrific applicants. Happily we are confident that great applicants will have many fine options.
Best of luck to all.
