The first application round was open from February 3 to March 31, 2025. While we had initially considered a second round, we realized after reviewing the outstanding applications by mid-April that demand far exceeded capacity — with more than three times as many applicants as available spots. Due to the high level of interest and the large number of excellent applications received, we have decided not to open an additional application round.
