With nearly 3,500
volunteers in the program, we are especially grateful for the
enormous amount of time and effort each active volunteer has given
to schedule and conduct the interview and compose a
report. Throughout the selection process, the admissions staff
paused on the TAAP report which often aided our deliberations. We
appreciate the care you spent in crafting your reports this season
as the quality and usefulness of the reports was noted by many staff
members here in Bendetson.
As we made the very
tough choices of which students to select at regular decision, where
we admitted about one quarter of the applicants, there were many
terrific candidates we were unable to offer admission. We hope the
report on the Class of 2011 will help to put the competition into
perspective.
Again, we
appreciate the time each member has dedicated to connecting with
candidates for the next class whether it is an interview, a
congratulatory phone call or a conversation at an admitted student
reception. Thank you!
