In thinking about what to write for the blog this week, I looked for inspiration in our blog archives (which, if you have not checked out yet, is a treasure trove of interesting stories and helpful admission tips!). \u00a0I came across a post<\/a> that one of my colleagues, Lynn, wrote about our annual holiday card and important deadlines. \u00a0I couldn’t help but smile: five years later I find myself in the same spot! \u00a0I am helping with the office’s annual holiday card this year, which seems to be a similar process to what Lynn described back in 2009. \u00a0We’ve been working hard to\u00a0find\u00a0a time that works for everyone in Admissions; choose a festive, picturesque spot for the shoot (which is hard because we have a lot of great options! For examples, please see our photo blog<\/a>,\u00a0our YouTube page<\/a>, and our Instagram account<\/a>.); arrange for one of the campus photographers to capture a fun\u00a0shot of us; and gather the list of recipients for the card. \u00a0I look forward to the finished product!<\/p>\n

Reading Lynn’s post made me happy because it reminded me of the cyclical nature of admissions, which is just one of the aspects of my job that I love! \u00a0Her post also reminded\u00a0me that we are now at the point in the year when we are thinking about deadlines:<\/p>\n

– our Early Decision deadline is\u00a0this\u00a0Monday, December 15th<\/strong><\/p>\n

– our last on-campus interview date is next\u00a0Friday, December 19th<\/strong><\/p>\n

– our last tour is at the end of the month on\u00a0Tuesday, December 30th<\/strong> at 3pm<\/p>\n

– our Regular Decision deadline is Thursday, January 15th!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope this helps you as you plan your end-of-the-year activities and cross items off of your to-do list. \u00a0Be safe, keep warm, and good luck!<\/p>\n

Oh, and if you would like to see some of the holiday photos from years past, here are the ones I could find:<\/p>\n
