What no rolling admissions....
Great question and on going debate about the subject of not having rolling admissions. Yes, last year close to this time it was announced Class 2017 would be the chosen without rolling admissions policy. For those who do not know, rolling admissions was a method of selecting applicants to fill the on coming class. Every Tuesday, admissions would make a selection from completed, qualified applicants from the pool at hand. So having your application completed early would afford admissions to review your applications several times before the dead line. Now, it is still important for you to complete your application early, this includes nom source. However, most of the class applicants will know if they have received an appointment by March into May. Notification were sent out much earlier than in the past with rolling admission, thus allowing “Plan B” to be pursued. WP admissions did issue appointments in November and December in hopes of capturing key applicants early. Admissions still meets every Tuesday for selection.
Now the selection process on how they make a decisions is a whole other topic that 845something can start.
I hope that helps.
