5. Request that a faculty member send the recommendation form as soon as possible.
6. Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Applicants are notified of the admission committee’s decision within two or three weeks after an application is completed.
7. Students who accept our invitation to join the program should respond within two weeks, including a $300 nonrefundable deposit which will be applied toward the total program fee. Since the number of places is limited, it may not be possible to hold an offered place beyond this time.
8. Students who wish to participate in the Bonus Weekend must pay an additional nonrefundable Bonus Weekend fee by March 8. The fee will be refunded to late applicants who are not invited to join the program. For those who are offered a place, the fee is nonrefundable.
9. If a student applies before the early application deadline of January 25, the $35 application fee is waived. The normal deadline for applications is March 8. Most students apply well before that time; however, if spaces remain in the program after the deadline, applications will be accepted until May 1.
11. After March 8, the $300 deposit must accompany all applications, along with the $35 application fee. The $300 deposit will be refunded to late applicants who are not invited to join the program. For those who are offered a place, the $300 is nonrefundable.
12. All payments should be made in U.S. dollars.
13. The University of New Hampshire mandates different tuition rates for residents and non-residents, and for undergraduates and graduate students. In addition, the Cambridge Summer Program imposes a common student fee to cover room and board, excursions, and other program benefits. Textbooks, lunches, dinners on Fridays and Saturdays, transportation to and from England, and the Bonus Weekend are NOT included.
