<p>FYI:</p>
<p>IR/PS at UCSD will begin notifying Priority Round applicants of their status as early as Monday. While this isn’t as early as the Feb 1 target date, the high number of candidate interviews this year has slowed down our processing a bit. If you are an IR/PS applicant and haven’t had an interview yet, please be patient. We are scheduling them and sending invitations as fast as possible and are nearly ready to start Round 2 interviews. </p>
<p>Not all Priority applications have been processed at this time, but notifications will continue as decisions are reached. Waitlisted applicants will be considered during the Round 2 decision process and those decisions can be expected by early to mid March.</p>
<p>Applications may still be submitted though the deadlines have passed. Late applications will receive the same consideration for admission and for scholarships / fellowships, though they will be reviewed on a rolling basis after the majority of Round 2 applications have been processed. Application resources are available online at <a href="http://irps.ucsd.edu/admissions/applying.htm%5B/url%5D">http://irps.ucsd.edu/admissions/applying.htm</a>. </p>
<p>Good luck with all your applications.</p>
