Attention: Anyone still interested in attending the course must get their application in by midnight on Friday the 8th of April. I would like to make the final decision about who to accept by mid April and need to finish interviewing applicants before then.

I'm interested in applying, but hoped you would respond to some of the questions and comments here before I did. I understand if you're not interested or don't have the time; thanks for doing this regardless!

Vaniver, may I suggest that you apply anyway and bring up any questions during the interview (should you get that far)? This seems to be the rational course of action in the circumstance unless the cost in time and effort of the application and interview is more than what is warranted by the potential gain and the chances of being accepted and Jasen's answers being acceptable to you when you get them.

I submitted my application at about 00:08 PST on Friday. I hope it can still be considered, or that "midnight on Friday" meant the midnight after Friday (which apparently it sometimes does).

I would expect 'before midnight on Friday' to include Friday night at 11:59:59. I don't think the designation was trying to get technical.

I hope so!
