<p>I have just learned that the first professor hired will be PSY.</p>
<p>I promise you there will be several hires coming from Juillard.</p>
<p>I was joking about PSY. although now that I think about it, it would sure attract a lot of attention and probably a lot of applicants.</p>
<p>My guess is the new school will not lack applicants when the faculty and staff are known in the near future.</p>
<p>GG, I thought I read that the first entrants into the new School will be Fall, 2015. Do you have more current info?</p>
<p>I imagine the deadline for applicants for the first class will be December 1, 2014 since an audition will be required. Seniors start applying to colleges in the early fall. My guess is the applications should be starting to arrive at the admissions office around September of 2014. </p>
<p>It is going to take some time to complete the building, recruit faculty and prepare the school for the inaugural class.</p>
