The Institute has just under 50 new applications left to review, which we hope to complete on Tuesday, May 12th. So far, approximately 50 applications require some further review, and there has only been a few applicants that have been turned down.

Already, 75 Founders have been invited to the next step of the application process, which involves completing a personality test. About a third of these applicants will attend the sessions remotely. The Institute expect to have between 50 and 75 Founders attending sessions in person, with another 25 attending remotely.

The midnight oil is burning at the Institute. The goal is to have all applicants tested, approved, and enrolled by Friday, May 15th. The first session is May 19th. Keep your eyes open for an email, and get ready to take the test. We're all very excited...
