A Few Thoughts From Groton About Application Deadlines

With our deadline approaching, I write to express our appreciation for the time and energy required to complete applications. Thank you for the work you have done to help us get to know you!

A word about deadlines: We would like applicants to submit their portion of the application by January 15. Is it a problem if a recommendation, transcript, or test result arrives later? No! We know this is beyond your control. The best place to check whether or not we have received your materials is your application portal, not the Gateway site. At this busy time, there is often a lag between when materials arrive at the Gateway application system and when they are transmitted to Groton's application portal. Don't worry if all the material does not appear in your application portal right away.

For those who have not yet interviewed, we do still have limited availability for in-person interviews towards the end of January. The calendar for in-person interviews can be found in the application portal as well. We will do our best to honor remote interview requests by reviewing application materials as they arrive, but we will not be able to honor all requests at this point. You may also consider providing a video introduction and a short presentation about yourself and your interests. This step is not required, but it is an option for applicants who would like to offer something beyond the Candidate Statement as a means of introducing themselves to Groton.

Thank you for the interest you have expressed in attending Groton School.

All the best,

Ian Gracey
