Check Applicant Status
Online Submissions
Students can check their admission status online via OPUS. There are instructions for first-time users at the OPUS site. Please remind students that despite the perceived instant nature of online submissions, it may take two to four weeks to process and post their application materials during our busiest times.
Mailed Applications and Materials
Most students apply online and many schools submit recommendations and transcripts electronically. If a student mails any materials in hard copy, it will assist us in processing the application if all required materials are in one envelope. Though that is not always possible, information submitted online is generally recorded first. Materials mailed will take longer to sort and record.
Notification
All students are notified in writing about their application status, whether their file is complete or incomplete.
