The IPREP program offers an Early Decision Program that allows highly qualified applicants to receive confirmation of their acceptance to the IPREP program prior to the usual deadline. Once accepted as an IPREP Fellow through the Early Decision Program, the applicant must fully commit to IPREP, and cannot be under consideration for any other postbaccalaureate programs (including graduate degree programs). To be considered for Early Decision, all application materials, including letters of reference, must be complete and submitted no later than December 15.
The following table shows the Early Decision deadlines and compares them to the deadlines for Regular Decision:
Early Decision | Regular Decision | |
|---|---|---|
Application review begins | November 15 | December 1 |
Application deadline | December 15 | March 15 |
Interviews complete | January 10 | March 20 |
Early decision notification | January 15 | March 25 |
Deadline to accept admission | January 25 | April 5 |
IPREP program begins | June 1 | June 1 |
An applicant who applies for Early Decision but is not accepted early, will still be considered for regular admission.
