What to Expect?
The Final Application Deadline for the Spring 2012 Seattle Semester is Sunday, February 26, 2012. All applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so the sooner you apply, the better your chances to get accepted and the sooner you will hear our decision.
After completing the application below, you will be invited to take our Predictive Admissions Test, which is our main criteria for evaluating applicants. The test takes about 45 minutes, and you will have a few days to complete it. Developed by leading social scientists in conjunction with the Founder Institute, this test is continually calibrated to identify entrepreneurial personality traits.
All applicants are asked to contribute a $50 USD fee to help cover the administration costs of the Predictive Admissions Test. Applications are reviewed as soon as they are received and by no later than on Sunday, February 26, 2012, and you will hear from the Institute no later than Monday, March 05, 2012. There is no obligation.
