- Designated program sites automatically receive complete applications.
- Admission decisions will be released on March 15, 2025.
- Admission decisions are released on the application dashboard.
- Accepted applicants will confirm their attendance at only one site. All confirmations are final and cannot be changed to another program site for any reason. Regardless of the reason, students who choose to withdraw their confirmation cannot be considered for any other program site for the summer.
- Applicants have up to two business days after their admission decision is released to confirm their acceptance to a program site.
- Please note: The first business day begins on March 17, 2025.
- Applicants who fail to confirm their acceptance after two business days will receive a Withdrawn After Accept admissions decision.
- Program sites will begin accepting students from their wait list on March 19, 2025, if space permits. Waitlisted applicants must check their account daily until their status has changed. If status is changed to “Accepted,” applicants have 24 hours to confirm their acceptance or they will be withdrawn from the program.
- Program site coordinator will contact the confirmed applicants with further instructions no later than the end of March.
