The deadline for round one was December 15 and the deadline for round two was January 15. Students admitted in the early decision rounds have a May first deadline to decide if they will matriculate next semester.

Although two-thirds of the people already accepted are from New England, students from several dozen states including Nebraska, Idaho and Florida will comprise the class of 2002 in addition to a student from Taiwan and from Canada.

"This class is very talented in terms of academics and extracurricular activities and I am very encouraged by the quality of early decision students," said Dean of Admission Wylie Mitchell about the incoming class.

One of the many interesting backgrounds of students included a student who had earned their pilot's license and a student who had submitted scientific research from a class project to a competition which was used by NASA on one of the flights in space.
