Rachel: a few days after the deadline

1st- When application form comes in (regardless of other materials) Cass checks to see if there are holds

2nd – Rachel enters app info into a computer, looks to see if there are any materials in transcript drawer, and then she makes a paper file

3rd-  Rachel sends a file complete or incomplete letter to applicant

4th – After 15th, Rachel will separate completed by 15th and completed after 15th.  This will take 2 days, but tell students 1 week

 

I will train admit committee on file layout.  Martha has ability to consider an application complete even if it’s not.  When files are collated, Martha & I should go in and look at files to determine which incomplete files should be considered with the complete files (because we’ve approved a late document, etc).  This is called the “making incomplete files complete” after collation

 

There are 3 types of apps that get collated

Complete by 15th

Complete after 15th

Still incomplete

 

MPA:

Randee makes a spreadsheet of all applicants and admit committee people rank independently.  Put rankings from both readers on spreadsheet; director comes in if there is a disagreement on an applicant.

 

Categories (all get letters):

 

Admit 1 – definitely admit (yes, yes)

Admit 2 – hang on to until we see all the applicants

Waitlist  -- could be admit 2 or deny depending on comparisons

Deny

Incomplete – do we have an incomplete letter we send out??

Randoms who they’ve approved to have late stuff turned in

 

Round 1 – admit committee

Send out admit 1 letters after round 1

 

Round 2 – randee joins and they look at any that anyone had disagreements about

Send out admit 2, waitlist, deny, incomplete and random letters after round 2.

 

We need to create an MES admissions process flow chart!
