3) What if I don't get accepted as part of Early Action? Will I still be considered for acceptance at the end of the general application period? Do I hurt my chances of getting accepted if I apply early?
If you are not accepted as part of the Early Action process, you will still be considered for the AlphaLab program as part of the general application pool. In fact, it is to your benefit as your application will be considered twice.
