Apply.

We read every application. We do not respond to most. If you are the sort of person who would follow up twice, please save us both the trouble and do not begin.

The Basics.

The paperwork no one can avoid. Even us.

There are no wrong answers. There are better ones.

Your Situation.

We ask only because the curriculum is not for everyone, and we would hate to mismatch you.

The single strongest predictor of alumna satisfaction in our internal data. See outcomes report.

The Vision.

We'd like a sense of the life you've decided, with no particular evidence, that you are owed.

Last Word.

300 words maximum. Do not, under any circumstances, tell us you "work hard."

If the answer is "an algorithm," just say an algorithm. It's fine.

Submit & pay the fee.

€180 application fee. Non-refundable. Reviewed by a human (usually Paige) within 4–6 weeks.

DBA

Thank you.

Your application has been received. Paige will get to it when Paige gets to it. Please do not refresh, forward, or otherwise “check in.” If we have questions, we will reach out via a Google Voice number neither of us will save.
