Optional: Request an Expedited Review of Your Application

NOTE: SUMMER APPLICANTS SHOULD IGNORE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. ALL APPLICATIONS ARE NOW RECEIVING THE EQUIVALENT OF AN EXPEDITED REVIEW PROCESS. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TIMING OF YOUR APPLICATION, PLEASE EMAIL DVANDIJK@CALVIN.EDU. You are welcome to let us know if you would like your application reviewed before the FYRES application deadline of 11 May 2020. This option is based on the experiences of several students in recent years who needed to know about acceptance into the FYRES course because they were trying to decide between several options, some of which had earlier deadlines. If knowing about FYRES earlier will be helpful to you for any reason, then please request an expedited review.

Would you like an expedited review of your FYRES application?

Yes

What is your reason for requesting an expedited review?

Knowing whether I am accepted into the FYRES course will help with deciding which college or university to attend.

Knowing whether I am accepted into the FYRES course will help with deciding whether to accept a spot in another special program at Calvin (such as the Phage course in Biology).

Other:

If a decision deadline is known, what is it?

For example, the Michigan college decision day is around May 1. FYRES is in contact with the Calvin Admissions Office about Calvin's decision day and the Biology Dept. about the Phage course deadlines.

Please comment if you think your recommendation might be delayed.

Both your application and the recommendation for you are needed before we can review your application. Please work with your recommender to make sure that the recommendation is submitted in time for us to do an expedited review. If the time is very short, you might want to check with more than one possible recommender.
