The Institute accepted 41 Founders into the New York and Washington DC Area semesters Saturday evening, filling both locations with excellent candidates. The final admissions process occurs quickly by design. If you receive an acceptance letter, act on it sooner rather than later.

Accepted Founders have less than 48 hours to enroll. If an invited applicant does not respond, two people from the waiting list are invited to fill any single vacancy. The moment a location has the desired number of Founders committed, enrollment is closed and everyone is sent notice.

The Institute will start processing Seattle applications on Monday.

Good luck, and congratulations!
